You and me forever
we belong together
and we'll always endeavor
throughout any type of weather
You want everything to be just like (2x)
The story's that you read but never write (2x)
You gotta learn to live
and live and learn
You gotta learn to give
and wait your turn
or you'll get burned
You wrote our names down on the sidewalk
the rain came and washed them off
So we should write them again on wet cement
So people a long time from now will know what we meant
You want every morning to be just like (2x)
The story's that you read but you never write (2x)
You gotta learn to live
and live and learn
You gotta learn to give
and wait your turn
and only concern
I'm adding something new to the mixture
so there's a different hue to your picture
a different ending to this fairy tale
we'll know sunset into which we sail
You want everything to be just like (2x)
The stories that you read but you can't write (You can't write)
You gotta learn to live
and live and learn
Oh, you gotta learn to give
and wait your turn
or you'll get burned
