You and me forever, we belong together   And we'll always endeavor, through out any type of weather      You want everything to be just like   The stories that you read, but never write   You've gotta learn to live and live and learn   You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn   Or you'll get burned      You wrote our names down on the sidewalk   But the rain came and washed them off   So we should write them again on wet cement   So people a long time from now will know what we meant      You want every morning to be just like   The stories that you read, but never write   You've gotta learn to live and live and learn, oh   You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn   I'm only concerned      I'm adding something new to the mixture   So there's a different hue to your picture   A different ending to this fairytale   And no sunset into which we sail      You want everything to be just like   The stories that you read, but you can't write   You've gotta learn to live and live and learn, oh   You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn   Or you'll get burned
