| Out on the highway the traffic’s congested
|
| The streets are infested with people
|
| Feels like I’m stuck in this automobile
|
| Trying to get through the eye of the needle
|
| I’m just wanting to find my place
|
| In a rat race that nobody’s winning
|
| I’m just as guilty as anyone
|
| This ain’t the way that I ought a be living
|
| Ooh, one of these days I’m gonna listen
|
| Ooh, whoa, life is a teacher and love is a lesson
|
| Yes it is, oh yeah
|
| Haven’t we come a long way, baby?
|
| Since the things that they taught us in history
|
| Been all the way to the moon and back
|
| But the heart of the matter’s a mystery
|
| We’re all headed for a fiery crash
|
| And nobody knows when it’s coming
|
| Just look at this helter skelter world
|
| Man, it’s no wonder everyone’s running
|
| Ooh, one of these days I’m gonna listen
|
| Ooh, whoa, life is a teacher and love is a lesson
|
| Love is a lesson, children
|
| With crime in the street and the cold and the heat
|
| And the pain that the people are feeling
|
| Don’t you all think it’s time we all stood together
|
| And let love be the healer?
|
| Ohh, love is the lesson, yes it is
|
| Life is a teacher, love is the lesson, yeah
|
| Oh, yes it is
|
| Love is the lesson
|
| Life is a teacher, love is the lesson, yeah
|
| You gotta know love is the lesson
|
| Ooh, love is the lesson
|
| Ooh, love is the lesson
|
| Ooh, love is the lesson
|
| Ooh, love is the lesson |
