You and me forever We belong together And we'll always endeavor Through any type of weather You want everything to be just like You want everything to be just like The stories that you read but never write The stories that you read but never write You've gotta learn to live and live and learn hmm You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn Or you'll get burned We wrote our names down on the sidewalk The rain came and washed them off So we should write them again on wet cement So people a long time from now will know what we meant You want every morning to be just like You want every morning to be just like The stories that you read but never write The stories that you read but never write You've gotta learn to live and live and learn oh You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn I'm only concerned I'm adding something new to the mixture So there's a different hue to your picture A different ending to this fairytale And no sunset into which we sail You want everything to be just like You want everything to be just like The stories that you read but you can't write you can't write You've gotta learn to live and live and learn oh You've gotta learn to give and wait your turn Or you'll get burned
