Lessons for the Lover Lyrics

[Intro]
Turn the lights on

[Verse 1]
How could someone hurt you
But still make you feel so good?
Holler, scream and curse you and you stand there and let them do it
Just 'cause he gives you pain, that don’t mean he ain’t the one
Fuck you out your brain, you’ll be smiling when he’s done

[Pre-Chorus]
So, my advice would be no, don’t leave
Don’t go so easy
Let that argument turn you on
It’s worth it

[Chorus]
And these are the lessons learned by lovers
These are the reasons we make love
There’s no exception, one day
We gotta look each other in the eye
You learn all these lessons when you’re in love
A lesson for the lover (the lover)
A lesson for the lover (the lover)

[Verse 2]
So hard to imagine
Living life without them there
'Cause now you’re so caught up in the passion
But this shit is beyond compare
'Cause don't it make your heart beat, beat, beat like a drum?
You fall hard, but think about how hard you come
[Pre-Chorus]
So, my advice would be no, don’t leave
Don’t go so easy
Let that argument turn you on
It’s worth it

[Chorus]
And these are the lessons learned by lovers
These are the reasons we make love
There’s no exception, one day
We gotta look each other in the eye
You learn all these lessons when you’re in love
A lesson for the lover (the lover)
A lesson for the lover (the lover)
Come here, look at me

[Bridge]
No one wants to be fighting
All day long, all night long
So we'll just scream till we start making love
And as time goes on, we're feeling
Okay, babe, alright, love
And we'll forget about it in the morning

[Chorus]
And these are the lessons learned by lovers
These are the reasons we make love
There’s no exception, one day
We gotta look each other in the eye
You learn all these lessons when you’re in love
A lesson for the lover (the lover)
A lesson for the lover (the lover)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
