Martina McBride: I've Learned

(Tom Douglas/Angela Lauer)

I've learned that sex can sell anything on TV.
And I've learned that what you get ain't always what you see.
And I've learned that politics and acting are the same profession.
And the soul gets mighty sick when it goes without confession.
I know a lot about livin' but I got so much to learn about love.

I've learned that the winners don't always have the most talents.
And often the most gifted lives fall out of balance.
And I've learned that you can never lose if you don't give up.
Don't give up.
I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Ooh, yes I do.

'Cause when it comes to love,
I get so confused.
Things I say and shouldn't say.
And do and shouldn't do.
I build back walls that I've torn down.
I hide my heart so it can't be found.
I get lost as lost can be.
Still you keep lovin' me.

I've learned that I'm a taker and I need to be a giver.
And I promise you a whole lot more than I deliver.
An' I've learned that forgiveness is a simple gift of grace.
And I know I don't deserve it, but I see it in your face.
I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Oh, yes I do.

'Cause when it comes to love,
I get so confused.
Things I say and shouldn't say.
And do and shouldn't do.
I build back walls that I've torn down.
I hide my heart so it can't be found.
I get lost as lost can be.
Ah, but still you keep lovin' me.

I've learned that every day, miracles still happen.
The sweetest music is the sound of children laughin'.
And you should kiss your folks every time you leave 'em.
'Cause you never know, it just might the last time you see 'em.
I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Ooh, yes I do.

I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Yes I do.
Yes I do.

I have to learn.
Oh, I have to learn.
Oh, I know a lot about livin' but I've got so much to learn about love.
Yes I Do, yeah, yeah, yeah.
