Teach Me To Love

 



Teach Me To Love 


I know a lot about a lot of things

And a bit about a few

But all I really want to know 

Is how to find a love that's true.


I'm very highly educated

And most definitely well read

But all I want is to get in my heart

What's always been in my head.


They say I am a pretty girl

And intelligent and fun

So why can't I with all my gifts

Find my one and only one?


I don't think that I am all that shy

Nor am I all that bold

But I'd do anything to find

True love before I'm old.


'Cause life without the song of love

Is just not life at all

There is no reason to have a voice

If no one hears you call.


I see so many couples

Walking hand in hand

Happy women smiling at

Their happy smiling man.


But love just passes by my heart

Like I'm not even there

As lovers lie and make me cry

And prove that they don't care.


I do not know what I do wrong

Or what love wants of me

There's something there that I can't hear

And something I can't see.


Maybe love wants no part of me

And maybe love I'll never find

But  if I had a teacher to teach me to love

Maybe I could make it mine.


It's worth a shot, what have I got

To lose but a broken heart?

I've got to stop this giving up

Before I even start.


I've got so much inside of me

To give to someone else

I've saved up love all of my life

But lived loveless and bereft.


I know I can make someone happy

And I would treat them right

So I'm here to sign up for your course

Can you teach me tonight?


I'll be a willing student

For you know of love's sweet charms

 And I'm here to learn how to make love come

And hold it in my arms.


I'll got a home here in my heart

For love to live and stay

And I'll gladly give it to the one

Who won't throw that love away.
