Lyrics

YOU’VE GOT A LOT TO LEARN
(Lyrics and music by Winston Apple)

You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth
And far be it from me to be the one who tries to talk you into taking it out
You’ve developed a taste for the finer things in life
You’re more than willing to pay any price
As long as it’s Daddy’s money you’re spending
You’ve got money to burn
You’ve got a lot to learn
You’ve got a lot to learn

To you all the world’s a stage
And the people merely players
Expected to take their cues from you
You’ve been this way all of your life
This isn’t just a phase that you are going through
You tell your flunkies and your so-called friends what to do
And you’re under the impression they’d do anything for you
Well, it’s your money they love
And if it ever runs out
You’ll see your friends are gonna run out too
You’ve got a lot to learn
Oh yeah, you’ve got a lot to learn

Well, you’ve really got it made
You’ve got everything money can buy
And yet you’re still not happy
And you’re beginning to wonder why
I can see it in your eyes
You realize there’s something missing
I could tell you that you need to learn to love
You wouldn’t listen
You think you can take love
And never give love in return
You’ve got a lot to learn
Oh yeah, you’ve got a lot to learn

How long do you think that you can keep reaping without learning how to sow?
True love is an emotion that you have never known
The only kind of love you have ever seen
Was on your television or up on a movie screen
You say that love is an illusion as far as you’re concerned
You’ve got a lot to learn
Oh yeah, you’ve got a lot to learn
Oh yeah, you’ve got a lot to learn
