Lyrics
(sung at the same time, alternating lines)
GIRL:
You came on the scene
You taught me what a kiss could mean
And I learned all about love
All about love from you!
 
BOY:
Only passing by
Glad I caught your eye
And I learned all about love,
All about love from you!
 
GIRL:
I was alone
No sweet talk on my telephone
Then I learned all about love,
All about love from you!
 
BOY:
I was home at nine
Now we hog the line
Then I learned all about love,
All about love from you!
 
GIRL:
Do I need your kiss?
And do I live for this?
Well, unless I miss my guess,
If you should lose me, blues would choose me! 
BOY:
We’re livin’
For lovin’!
Oh yes! Oh yes?
If you should lose me blues would choose me!
 
GIRL:
Here in your embrace
I found the thrill I can’t replace
For I learned all about love
All about love from you!
 
BOY:
(Hum)
Baby, you’re so real!
That’s the way I feel!
For I learned all about love
All about love from you!
