You never know happy if you’ve never been sad
You never know wise if you’ve never been had
You never know worry if you’ve never reminisced
You never know lonely if you’ve never been kissed
It’s your life on screen that hits more than your eye
It’s a story so old, but it just won’t die
Got your foot on the gas but you can’t catch a break
When you’re eating a bag of bad apples for goodness’ sake
If he can’t love you girl, then he can’t learn to love
If she can’t love you man, then she can’t learn to love
My neighborhood it is all settled down
They walk around with a subtle frown
And it’s no mystery why that may be
They gave up-- don’t give up
If he can’t love you, man, then he can’t learn to love
If she can’t love you, girl, then she can’t learn to love
If she can’t learn to love you, then she can’t learn to love
If he can’t learn to love you, then he can’t learn to love
"Encumbered as they are,
They seem to be flying"
