I Learned About Love From Her Lyrics

We met one evening when the moon was bright, 

 And when she gave me the eye I thought that I would die, 

 She had such curly hair and teeth of white, 

 And I learned about love from her. 

 

 And when she'd hold me in her arms so tight, 

 Every kiss was like a torch, my lips, they used to scorch, 

 That gal was just a mess of dynamite! 

 And I learned about love from her. 

 

 You've heard about that man from Tennessee, 

 Say, he came along one day and he stole my gal away; 

 Now she's teaching him what she taught me, 

 When I learned about love from her. 

 

 At night I sit alone so sad and blue, 

 Like a monkey on the shelf; say, I could hang myself! 

 There's a gang of things I didn't learn to do 

 When I learned about love from her. 

 

 Went to school, went to school, just to learn the game of love, 

 Once a fool, stays a fool, that's one thing I'm certain of, 

 There's no one beneath the Sun, beneath this sky above 

 Who can tell upon a given Sunday where his gal will be on Monday. 

 

 Now my gal and I are far apart 

 And with teardrops in my eyes, say, I realize 

 I didn't learn how to mend a busted heart 

 When I learned about love from her!
