i wanna learn a love song þarký sözü

i come fresh from the street,
fast on my feet, kind a lean and lazy;
not much meat on my bones, and a whole lot alone,
and more than a little bit crazy.
the old six string was all i had
to keep my belly still,
and for each full hour lesson i gave
i got a crisp ten dollar bill.

she was married for seven years
to a concrete castle king.
she said she wanted to learn to play the guitar
and to hear her children sing.
so i´d show up about once a week
in my faded tight-legged jeans
with a backlog full of hobo stories
and dilapidated dreams.

she said, "i wanna learn a love song full of happy things."
she said, "i wanna learn a love song; won´t you let me hear you sing?"
she said, "i wanna learn a love song, i wanna hear you play."
she said, "i wanna learn a love song before you go away."

so i tried to teach her a couple of chords
and an easy melody;
but it always turned out she´d rather listen
to my guitar and me.
i could hear her old man laughing in the den,
playing stud poker with the boys
while i sang so soft in the living room,
to scared to make much noise.
i came one week and the den was dark
and she met me at the door.
and we sat on the couch and we sang and talked
till i could not sing no more.
the silence kept on building,
her eyes grew much too wide;
and i could her both of our heartbeats,
but there was no place to hide.

she said, "i wanna learn a love song full of happy things."
she said, "i wanna learn a love song; won´t you let me hear you sing?"
she said, "i wanna learn a love song, i wanna hear you play."
she said, "i wanna learn a love song before you go away."
well, i guess you know what happened,
god, i never been so clean.
yes, i feel like i´m working in a hollywood movie
or living out a good bad dream.
and all them pinup girls in that tinsel world
never touched me like she can;
it took another man´s wife in the real world life
to make this boy a man.

she said, "i wanna learn a love song full of happy things."
she said, "i wanna learn a love song; won´t you let me hear you sing?"
she said, "i wanna learn a love song, i wanna hear you play."
she said, "i wanna learn a love song before you go away."
i guess you know i stayed.
