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
