I was
fresh
from the street and fast on my feet
Kinda crass and corny
Not much meat on my bones
And a whole lot of loan
Just a little bit horny
The whole six string was all I
had to keep my belly still
And for each full hour lesson I
gave her got a crisp ten dollar bill
She said she was married for seven
years to a concrete castle king
She said she wanted to learn to play a
guitar and hear her children sing
So I tried to teach her a couple of
chords and an easy melody
But it always turned out she'd rather
listen to my guitar and me
She said, wanna learn a love
song full of happy things
I wanna learn a love song,
won't you let me hear you sing
She said, I want to learn a love
song before you go away
I want to learn a love song,
won't you let me hear you play?
I could hear her old man
laugh ing in the den
Playing stud poker with the boys
While I sang so soft in the living room
Too scared to make much noise
But I came one week and
the den was dark
And she met me at the door
We sat on the couch
and we sang and talked
Till I could not sing no more
She said, I wanna learn a love song
Full of happy things
I wanna learn a love song
Won't you let me hear you sing?
She said, I wanna learn a love song
Before you go away
I wanna learn a love song
Won't you let me hear
you play?
I guess you know what happened
By
God, I sure felt clean
I feel like I'm caught in a
Hollywood movie or living
out a good -bad dream
But all the pent -up girls in this plastic
world never touch me like she can
It took another man's wife in real
-world life to make this boy a man
She said I wanna learn a love
song full of happy things
I want to learn a love song,
won't you let me sing
He said, I want to learn a love
song before you go away
I want to learn a love song,
won't you let me play
I want to learn to love some more,
won't you let me play?
I want to learn to love some more,
before you go away
I want to learn to love some more,
won't you let me play?
Said
I, I wanna learn a love song,
full of happy things
I wanna learn a love song,
won't you let me sing
Said
I, I wanna learn a love song,
before you go away
I wanna learn a love song,
won't you let me play
You
