Out on the highway the traffic's congested The streets are infested with people Feels like I'm stuck in this automobile Trying to get through the eye of the needle
I'm just wanting to find my place In a rat race that nobody's winning I'm just as guilty as anyone This ain't the way that I ought a be living
Ooh, one of these days I'm gonna listen Ooh, whoa, life is a teacher and love is a lesson Yes it is, oh yeah
Haven't we come a long way, baby? Since the things that they taught us in history Been all the way to the moon and back But the heart of the matter's a mystery
We're all headed for a fiery crash And nobody knows when it's coming Just look at this helter skelter world Man, it's no wonder everyone's running
Ooh, one of these days I'm gonna listen Ooh, whoa, life is a teacher and love is a lesson Love is a lesson, children
With crime in the street and the cold and the heat And the pain that the people are feeling Don't you all think it's time we all stood together And let love be the healer?
Ohh, love is the lesson, yes it is Life is a teacher, love is the lesson, yeah Oh, yes it is
Love is the lesson Life is a teacher, love is the lesson, yeah You gotta know love is the lesson
Ooh, love is the lesson Ooh, love is the lesson Ooh, love is the lesson Ooh, love is the lesson
