Teach me how to love you like I wrote And say it like I mean it, when I don't Teach me how to hold you in my arms Without squeezing too damn tight and causing harm I'll learn not to look at you with scorn Oh, if you promise to never have me mourn
By all means, give me lessons in my ways But damn it, don't expect me to change Mold me to the man that I should be But don't consider that man to be free And how am I expected to behave Oh, when I'm alone with myself everyday?
I'll never love you enough, my love I'll never hold you close enough
Teach me how to love you like I wrote And say it like I mean it, when I don't
