To love her is to learn her
And see her at her worst
Dance with her when she's drinkin'
Hold her when she hurts
She'll be happy, you'll be sorry
Well, that's just how it works
To love her is to learn her
Some things you just can't learn

You'll meet her momma
You'll love her daddy
You'll know how much she's worth
You'll have thanksgiving dinners
And Sunday morning church
You'll be true and you'll be tried
But the tables always turn
To love her is to learn her
Some things you just can't learn

It's a lesson, it's a blessing
You don't know everything
If you take her you might hate her
And be left with just a ray

To love her is to lose her
Hey, that's just how it works
To love her is to learn her
Some things you just can't learn

Oh to love her is to learn her
Some things you just can't learn
