They teach you to read
|
They teach you to write
|
They teach you to say
|
Your prayers at night
|
They teach you good manners
|
And all that stuff
|
|
But they don't teach you how to love
|
|
Dad taught me fishin'
|
Baitin' the hook
|
Mama taught me how
|
To sew and cook
|
I know that they tried
|
But what I'm dreamin' of,
|
|
Is that someone's gonna teach me how to love
|
|
Anyone can move a mountain
|
If they work hard enough
|
If it was only that easy
|
To move someone to love
|
|
They teach you to hurt
|
They teach you to hate
|
And learn to hold back
|
Till it's just too late
|
Then they teach you to run
|
When the goin' gets tough
|
|
But they don't teach you how to love
|
|
They teach you to dance
|
They teach you to sing
|
These days they teach you
|
Everything
|
I know why my heart
|
Feels like it does
|
|
If someone's gonna teach me how to love
|
|
Please won't you teach me how to love
|

Teach You To Love
