[Verse 1] I ain’t learned a thing, since the day I was born They try to teach me but I know nothing at all I won’t stand up, cause I’m afraid might fall [Refrain] You learn how to crawl before you can walk You learn how to cry before you can talk [Verse 2] I’ve been scolded, and prodded, and made to feel like a fool I was bullied and picked on when I was at school I’m not very clever but I know it was cruel [Refrain] You learn how to crawl before you can walk You learn how to cry before you can talk [Verse 3] Now I’ve been around for many a year And what have I learned I don’t trust no one for fear I’ll get burned [Refrain] You learn how to crawl before you can walk You learn how to cry before you can talk [Verse 4] I’ve studied religion, but I’ve learned life from TV They keep me doped so that I feel happy and free I don’t know a thing so there’s nothing bothering me [Refrain] You learn how to crawl before you can walk You learn how to cry before you can talk [Verse 5] Now I live in a house on top of a hill I watch the world, from my window sill I haven’t learned nothing, I know nothing still [Refrain] You learn how to crawl before you can walk You learn how to cry before you can talk [Outro] If you want to learn how to walk You need to learn how to crawl If you want to learn how to talk You need to learn how to cry
