[Verse 1]
You got to learn to listen, listen to learn
You got to learn to listen, before you get burned
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You got to learn to listen, before you get burned
You got to have fun, not a fix in the arm
You got to stay out of deep water
Happiness is something you've got to earn
You got to fight to make your love into returns

[Chorus]
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You got to learn to listen, before you get burned
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You got to learn to listen, before you get burned


[Verse 2]
You got the rights and there's always a temptation
This one more screwed up the nation
Got to have a plan, got to learn to listen
Got to take a stab, you have my blessing, alright

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
You got to take the cotton out of your ears
You got to start hanging on to all your affairs
I've lived your life for so many years
All I got was self-pity and tears
[Chorus]
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You got to learn to listen, before you get burned
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You got to learn to listen, before you get burned
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You got to learn to listen, before you get burned
Learn to listen, listen to learn
You got to learn to listen, before you get burned
