Leave a door open and the fly comes in
Leave a door open and the fly comes in
Leave a door open and the fly comes in
That's the way it is and how it's always been
That's the way it's always been

Fall yourself in love and get your teeth kicked in
Fall yourself in love and get your teeth kicked in
Fall yourself in love and get your teeth kicked in
That's the way it is and how it's always been
That's the way it's always been

A little lesson or two in the art of livin'
May I be forgivin' if I'm guiding you wrong
Sing for your supper
Remember on the other end of the spoon
The guys working for a song

You'll get your heart broken throwing caution to the wind
You'll get your heart broken throwing caution to the wind
You'll get your heart broken throwing caution to the wind
That's the way it is and how it's always been
That's the way it's always been

Just a lesson or two in the art of livin'
May I be forgivin' if I'm guiding you wrong
Sing for your supper
Remember on the other end of the spoon
The guys working for a song
