Lessons in Love lyrics

[Verse 1: Mark King]
I'm not proud, I was wrong
And the truth is hard to take
I felt sure we had enough
But our love went overboard
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
I've been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me

[Chorus: Mark King, Mark King, Mike Lindup & Wally Badarou]
All the dreams that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better, should be better
For lessons in love

[Verse 2: Mark King]
For restless eyes, egos burn
And the mold is hard to break
Now we've waded in too deep
And love is overboard
Heavy hearts, token words
All the hopes I ever had
Fade like footprints in the sand

[Chorus: Mark King, Mark King, Mike Lindup & Wally Badarou]
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better, should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it, yeah
Lessons in love
[Bridge: Mark King, Mike Lindup & Wally Badarou, Mike Lindup]
Lost without love
Lessons in love
When will you ever learn?
Lessons in love
When there's nowhere left to turn
Lessons in love
Don't let your spirit burn
Lessons in love
I'll wait 'til you return

[Chorus: Mark King, Mark King, Mike Lindup & Wally Badarou]
All the dreams that we were building, yeah, yeah
We never lived them
We could use it, we should use it Lessons in love
Lessons in love

[Outro: Mark King, Mark King, Mike Lindup & Wally Badarou]
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better, should be better, yeah
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us Lose
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it, Good God
Lessons in love
