Analysis of I've Learned
Perry Campanella 1948 (FL)
I've learned that money doesn't buy class
working efficiently is to earn what is relevant
go through all of it - faster it will pass
good behavior, formal dressed - is elegant
Now that's class...
That it's those small daily happenings
make life so spectacular, also surprising
I've learned - under everyone's hard shell
someone wants to be appreciated as well
as to be loved...
The Lord didn't do it all in one day
what makes me think I can;
so I'll say...
I've learned that to ignore these facts
does not change these facts, so RELAX!
The less time I have to work, ya know
much more things I get done,
wouldn't it be nice to show
this to everyone...
ya know!
