You've got to live and learnYou've got to live and learnBefore your bridges burnYou've got to live and learnHere's a little story about lifeEverybody that lives surely diesA lot of people ask the questions whySome people have to go through so much moreBefore they really learn about life's scoreThe subject is not to be ignored (kick it to 'em, Joe)I don't want to be the oneTo tell you how it's gotta beLivin' is the only wayYou're ever really gonna seeYou've got to live and learnYou've got to live and learnBefore your bridges burnYou've got to live and learnAh, yeahWhy'all, check itKick this one for the PublicNow break it downThere's so much wrong and negativityEnough for the whole world to seeI know there's still a possibilityYou raise a little kid, he turns out boldIt may be from the way you treat him coldI guess that's how the story's told (tell 'em what it is)I don't want to be the oneTo tell you how it's gotta beLivin' is the only wayYou're ever really gonna seeYou've got to live and learn(I don't want to be the one)You've got to live and learn(To tell you how it's gotta be)Before your bridges burn(Livin' is the only way)You've got to live and learn(That you're ever gonna see)If large is how ya livin'Why you're livin' large, are you takin' what is givenTo you, in the form of true experienceCause if you're not your whole life could be spentDoin' " time for a crime you say you didn't even doThe only fool that you're foolin' is the fool that is youDidn't even turn around to check and see if your bridge is burnin'I guess it's true what they say that without livin' there's no learnin'And this is from the J, the O, and the EMary, Mary, Mary, it's quite contraryYo', how did you earn your doughYou didn't finish school, you ain't got no jobBut to the human eye it's pretty simpleYou're always talkin' about what you want is respectBut never thinkin' about the little boy you neglectSpendin' his formative years in a livin' hellNot realizin' one day he'd end up in jailNow on the other hand, there's Dan my manWho planned a scam and I'll be damnedIt was the ultimate flim flamHe was sayin' that it was easy as pieBut little did Dan know he was about to dieYou've got to live and learn(I don't want to be the one)You've got to live and learn(To tell you how it's gotta be)Before your bridges burn(Livin' is the only way)You've got to live and learn(That you're ever gonna see)You've got to live and learn(I don't want to be the one)You've got to live and learn(To tell you how it's gotta be)Before your bridges burn(Livin' is the only way)You've got to live and learn(That you're ever gonna see)You've got to live and learn(I don't want to be the one)You've got to live and learn(To tell you how it's gotta be)
