~ My attempt at Cole Porter song lyrics ~
"When Will I Learn"
Every grade is an 'A'
Every test is too simple
Every quiz is a joy
But oh, how I fail
On every exhale
Just because of a boy
I can study all night
I can put up a fight
But eventually I get burned
And the thought I can't handle
When I look at that candle is...
When will I learn?
I'm smart, but I'm stupid
I'm quick, but I'm slow
I'm cool, but I'm crazy
I'm a fool with a smile
I'm sharp to your ways
But it doesn't dissuade me
So an 'F's
What I earn
And all that I wonder
When I bother to wonder is--
When will I learn?
The brains never help
And the books never save me
When your looks enslave me
Vanquishing my concerns
And all that I wonder
When I remember to wonder
Isn't where should I turn?
It's when can I be with you
And when can I see you
And when...
When will I learn?
