YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN

YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN(Il Faut Savoir)

You've got to learn to show a happy face,

Although you're full of misery.

You mustn't show a trace of sadness

And never look for sympathy.

You've got to learn, although it's very hard,

The way of pocketing your pride,

And sometimes face humiliation

While you are burning up inside.

Facing reality is often hard to do,

When it seems happiness is gone.

You've got to learn, to hide your tears,

And tell your heart life must go on.

You've got to learn, to leave the table,

When love is no longer being served.

Just show them all that you are able

To leave without saying a word.

You've got to learn, to hide your sorrow,

And go on living as before.

What good is thinking of tomorrow

Who knows what it may have in store?

You've got to learn, to be much stronger,

At times your head should rule your heart.

You've got to learn, from hard experience

And listen to the advice and sometimes pay the price.

But I won't learn to live - With a broken heart.
