I've Got to Learn Songtext
von Bee Gees

There′s an old, old story about a man I know
Hated mashed potatoes and he ate everything real slow
Had a hole in his pocket and a hole in his head
Never, ever listened to a word he said

I've gotta learn
Well, I′ve gotta learn
Well, I've gotta learn
Yeah

I left school at the age of six
Never knew much about life
Got a whole lot of woman and she's living on me
Got the guts to call her my wife

I′ve gotta learn
Well, I′ve gotta learn
Yeah, a fool's gotta learn
Yeah, alright


I′ve been sold so many times
Don't know what I′m worth
I've failed every single thing I′ve tried
I've washed my face in the dirt

I've got a tiger in the kennel and I take it for a walk
Got a pussy cat sitting on the back of my porch
Got the radio low and the television high
But the alligator keeps on spitting in my eye

I′ve gotta learn
Well, I′ve gotta learn
Yeah, a fool's gotta learn
Yeah, alright

I′ve been sold so many times
Don't know what I′m worth
I've failed every single thing I′ve tried
I've washed my face in the Earth
Well, then, that's alright

I′ve got a tiger in the kennel and I′m taking it for a walk
Got a pussy cat sitting on the back of my porch
Everybody keeps on looking at me
Alligator keeps on spitting in my eye
