I Wanna Learn A Love Song - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
I come fresh from the street [00:00:13]
Fast on my feet kind a lean and lazy;[00:00:14]
Not much meat on my bones and a whole lot alone [00:00:19]
And more than a little bit crazy [00:00:22]
The old six string was all I had[00:00:25]
To keep my belly still [00:00:29]
And for each full hour lesson I gave[00:00:32]
I got a crisp ten dollar bill [00:00:35]
She was married for seven years[00:00:40]
To a concrete castle king [00:00:43]
She said she wanted to learn to play the guitar[00:00:46]
And to hear her children sing [00:00:49]
So I'd show up about once a week[00:00:52]
In my faded tight-legged jeans[00:00:55]
With a backlog full of hobo stories[00:00:58]
And dilapidated dreams [00:01:01]
She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things "[00:01:06]
She said "I wanna learn a love song;[00:01:12]
Won't you let me hear you sing "[00:01:16]
She said "I wanna learn a love song I wanna hear you play "[00:01:20]
She said "I wanna learn a love song before you go away "[00:01:26]
So I tried to teach her a couple of chords[00:01:38]
And an easy melody;[00:01:41]
But it always turned out she'd rather listen[00:01:44]
To my guitar and me [00:01:47]
I could hear her old man laughing in the den [00:01:50]
Playing stud poker with the boys[00:01:54]
While I sang so soft in the living room [00:01:56]
To scared to make much noise [00:02:00]
I came one week and the den was dark[00:02:05]
And she met me at the door [00:02:08]
And we sat on the couch and we sang and talked[00:02:11]
Till I could not sing no more [00:02:14]
The silence kept on building [00:02:18]
Her eyes grew much too wide;[00:02:21]
And I could hear both of our heartbeats [00:02:24]
But there was no place to hide [00:02:27]
She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things "[00:02:32]
She said "I wanna learn a love song;[00:02:38]
Won't you let me hear you sing "[00:02:41]
She said "I wanna learn a love song I wanna hear you play "[00:02:46]
She said "I wanna learn a love song before you go away "[00:02:52]
Well I guess you know what happened [00:03:10]
God I never been so clean [00:03:13]
Yes I feel like I'm working in a Hollywood movie[00:03:15]
Or living out a good bad dream [00:03:19]
And all them pinup girls in that tinsel world[00:03:22]
Never touched me like she can;[00:03:25]
It took another man's wife in the real world life[00:03:28]
To make this boy a man [00:03:32]
She said "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things "[00:03:36]
She said "I wanna learn a love song;[00:03:42]
Won't you let me hear you sing "[00:03:45]
She said "I wanna learn a love song I wanna hear you play "[00:03:50]
She said "I wanna learn a love song before you go away "[00:03:56]
I guess you know I stayed[00:04:08]
