Live and learn lyrics

[Verse 1]

I came home in the morning

And everything was gone

Oh, what have I done?

I dropped dead in the hallway

Cursing the dawn

Oh come on, sun

Why must I burn?

I'm just trying to learn

I stared into the light

To kill some of my pain it was all in vain

Cause no senses remain

But an ache in my body

And regret on my mind

But I'll be fine

[Chorus 1]

Cause I live and I learn

Yes, I live and I learn

If you live, you will learn

And I live and I learn

[Verse 2]

God kicked in the head

So I started a fight

Cause I knew I was right

But I learned I was wrong

I remember a slaughter

I remember I fought

For the money I brought

[Chorus 2]

I got blistered and burned

And lost what I'd earned

But I lived and I learned

Yes, I lived and I learned

[Bridge]

I got, I got it now

I got, I got it now

(She’s got, she’s got it now)

I got, I got it now

(She’s got it now)

I got, I got it now

(She’s got, she’s got it now)

[Verse 3]

I came to on a corner

Want some help from a man

And goddamn I don’t seem to have learned

That a lady in need is guilty indeed

So I paid and got laid in return

And I don't know what I've learned

[Chorus 3]

Well, you get what you give

And hell, yes, I lived

But if you live as you learn

I don't think I can learn

Oh with the sun in my eyes

Surprise, I'm living a life

But I don’t seem to learn

No, I don't think I can learn
