TEACH ME ABOUT LOVE
(Walter Hyatt)

Lyle Lovett

Also recorded by :
Cottonwood; Walter Hyatt.


Darlin' don't walk out on me
Tryin' to teach me a lesson
Thinkin' you'll come back to a better man
If you don't like the way things go
Just stay here and tell me so
'Cause there's one thing about me
You've got to understand

Chorus:
I've had enough lonesome
In my education
I don't want to study anymore
About a woman and a slammin' door
If I wanna be blue
I've got enough information
I know about lonesome
Teach me about love

Now the words from your sweet lips
And the looks from your sweet eyes
Are lessons that I study day by day
Each day I pick up somethin' new
Each night I learn a thing or two
But how can I learn anything
When teacher's gone away?

Chorus:
I've had enough lonesome
In my education
I don't want to study anymore
How to make it through a barroom door
I've been down and out
I'm ready for inspiration
I know about lonesome
Teach me about love

Now the words from your sweet lips
And the looks from your sweet eyes
Are lessons that I study every day
Each day I pick up somethin' new
Each night I learn a thing or two
But how can I learn anything
When teacher's gone away?

Chorus:
I've had enough lonesome
In my education
I don't want to study anymore
About a woman and a slammin' door
If I wanna be blue
I've got enough information
I know about lonesome
Teach me about love

Chorus:
I've had enough lonesome
In my education
I don't want to study anymore
How to make it through a barrom door
I've been down and out
I'm ready for inspiration
I know about lonesome
Teach me about love

I know about lonesome
Teach me about love...
