You've Got To Learn

[Intro]


You ve got to learn to show a happy face

Although you re full of misery

You mustn t show a trace of sadness

And never look for simple things


You ve got to learn although it s very hard

The way(?) you pocket in your pride

Sometimes face humiliation

While you re burning up inside


Facing reality is often hard to do

When it seems happiness is gone

You ve got to learn to hide your tears

And tell your heart life must go on


You ve got to learn to leave the table

When love s no longer being served

To show everybody that you re able

To leave without saying a word


You ve got to learn to hide your sorrow

And go on living as before

But good is thinking of tomorrow

Who knows what it may have been stored?

You ve got to learn to be much stronger

The times your head must rule your heart


You ve got to learn from hard experience

And lisen to advice

And sometimes pay the price

And learn to live with a broken heart
