You've got to learn to get to know the one you love.
|
To anticipate her ev'ry move,
|
you got to know exactly what she's thinking of.
|
She may be hungry but she won't say.
|
You better get a burger or something in her right away.
|
If you don't, you're gonna pay
|
at the hand of the one you love.
|
(The one you love, the one you love.)
|
|
Young man, you're running free, you're running wild.
|
You fall in love, you become nothing but a little baby child.
|
She can hurt you with the sound of her voice.
|
You can leave her but you got no choice.
|
You can't leave her, man, you're just a pris'ner of the one you love.
|
(The one you love, the one you love.)
|
|
True love never runs smooth, you know.
|
Sometimes there'll be sunny days,
|
sometimes there'll be sleet and snow.
|
When true love calls you, man, you gotta go.
|
And when you gotta go, you gotta go.
|
|
You got to know the one you love.
|
You got to know the one you love.
|
(The one you love, the one you love.
|
The one you love, the one you love.)
|
|
Once, a great man's heart was captured by a lovely chest.
|
He told himself it was her mind he loved,
|
but he was blind like all the rest.
|
Twenty hard years went by
|
till another chest will catch his eye.
|
He just hung his head and cried
|
and said, "Sorry dear, you're too late.
|
I've already ruined my life."
|
|
You've got to know the one you love.
|
She may be gentle, she may be kind,
|
she may not know exactly what's on her mind.
|
But you better know,
|
or you're gonna find you lose the one you love.
|
(The one you love, the one you love.)
|
The one you love.
|
(The one you love, the one you love.)
|
The one you love
|
(The one you love, the one you love.)
|
The one you love.
