I was looking for love in all the wrong places   And never found a cure   I was hoping that it could be sent from Heaven   A love so sweet and pure      In all of my years I've seen many faces   That dwindled by the way   In all of my fears it left me lonely   With tears here to stay      I learned the way of love   I learned to pray for love   If you see it in a lifetime   Learn to stay in love      I had fallen so deep in the depths of passion   My heart about to drown   Fulfilling my need to have a companion   But no one was around      In all of my guilt I feel redemption   It wasn't all of my fault   The home that I built was real inside me   But love was never caught      I learned the way of love   I learned to pray for love   If you see it in a lifetime   Learn to stay in love      If you feel like you'll never be one of them   Who discovers a love for eternity   Continue to be patient and keep you heart   Safe from those who might tear it all apart   And learn the way of love, oh, woah      I learned the way of love   I learned to pray for love   If you see it hold it, grab it, keep it   Stay in love, stay in love      I learned the way of love   I learned to pray for love   If you see it in a lifetime   Learn to stay in love      I learned the way of love   I learned to pray for love   And i know it may not come easy   And na na na na, no no no   I learned to stay in love
