I Learned About Love From Her – Cab Calloway And His Orchestra
By
We met one evening when the moon was bright And when she gave me the eye I thought that I would die She had such curly hair and teeth of white And I learned about love from her
And when she’d hold me in her arms so tight Every kiss was like a torch, my lips, they used to scorch That gal was just a mess of dynamite! And I learned about love from her
You’ve heard about that man from Tennessee Say, he came along one day and he stole my gal away Now she’s teaching him what she taught me When I learned about love from her
At night I sit alone so sad and blue Like a monkey on the shelf; say, I could hang myself! There’s a gang of things I didn’t learn to do When I learned about love from her
Went to school, went to school, just to learn the game of love Once a fool, stays a fool, that’s one thing I’m certain of There’s no one beneath the Sun, beneath this sky above Who can tell upon a given Sunday where his gal will be on Monday
Now my gal and I are far apart And with teardrops in my eyes, say, I realize I didn’t learn how to mend a busted heart When I learned about love from her!
