Lyrics

Learning

[Intro]

One, two, three

[Verse 1]

No one'll answer your prayers

'Til you take off that dress

No one'll hear all your crying

'Til you take your last breath

[Chorus]

But you will learn

To mind me

And you will learn

To survive me

[Verse 2]

No one'll answer your prayers

'Til you take off that dress

No one'll hear all your crying

'Til you take your last breath

[Chorus]

But you will learn

To mind me

And you will learn

To survive me

[Outro]

Your father before you

And your sister, too

Your husband and blah, blah, blah, blah

You, you, you, you

You, you, you, you
