Never figured about anything
About matters of the heart
But I never have been accused
Of being all that smart
Should have been more sensitive
I was busy acting tough
I never figured it out
Way my life is going nowhere fast
I'm trying to change my ways
Tried to find the right clothes to wear
And all the right lines to say
I spent a lot of money Lord
But it never was enough
I never figured it out
I never figured out anything about love
I never figured out anything about love
Some say you've gotta take your time
If you want the love to last
Sometimes you gotta break the rules
And make your move real fast
Sometimes it'll tear you down
Other times it'll lift you up
I never figured it out
I never figured out anything about love
I never figured out anything about love
I can't believe a word you say
Your meanings changing day to day
Guess that's the way it's always been
You figure it out at the end
Man you can't win
And when you finally start to learn
And the tables start to turn
Did you change the rules again
Yeah well you can't win
You can't win
Got a book on philosophy
To see what they had to say
I tried to get a different point of view
Greatest minds of the day
They tell you 'bout the nature man
But you might as well give up
They never figured it out
They never figured out anything about love
Never figured out anything about love
You can't believe a word they say
Their meanings changing day to day
Guess that's the way it's always been
You figure it out at the end
Man you can't win
And when you finally start to learn
And the tables start to turn
Did you change the rules again
Yeah well you can't win
You can't win
Never figured out anything about love
Never figured out anything about love
