Harry Chapin - I Wanna Learn a Love Song слова песни
I come fresh from the street, fast on my feet, kind a lean and lazy;not much meat on my bones, and a whole lot alone, and more than a little bit crazy.The old six string was all I had to keep my belly still,and for each full hour lesson I gave I got a crisp ten dollar bill.She was married for seven yearsto a concrete castle king.She said she wanted to learn to play the guitarand to hear her children sing.So I`d show up about once a weekin my faded tight-legged jeanswith a backlog full of hobo storiesand dilapidated dreams.She said, "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things."She said, "I wanna learn a love song; won`t you let me hear you sing?"She said, "I wanna learn a love song, I wanna hear you play."She said, "I wanna learn a love song before you go away."So I tried to teach her a couple of chordsand an easy melody;but it always turned out she`d rather listen to my guitar and me.I could hear her old man laughing in the den, playing stud poker with the boyswhile I sang so soft in the living room,to scared to make much noise.I came one week and the den was darkand she met me at the door.And we sat on the couch and we sang and talkedtill I could not sing no more.The silence kept on building,her eyes grew much too wide;and I could her both of our heartbeats,but there was no place to hide.She said, "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things."She said, "I wanna learn a love song; won`t you let me hear you sing?"She said, "I wanna learn a love song, I wanna hear you play."She said, "I wanna learn a love song before you go away."Well, I guess you know what happened,God, I never been so clean.Yes, I feel like I`m working in a Hollywood movieor living out a good bad dream.And all them pinup girls in that tinsel worldnever touched me like she can;it took another man`s wife in the real world lifeto make this boy a man.She said, "I wanna learn a love song full of happy things."She said, "I wanna learn a love song; won`t you let me hear you sing?"She said, "I wanna learn a love song, I wanna hear you play."She said, "I wanna learn a love song before you go away."I guess you know I stayed.
