Lyrics
I’ve never been a bit romantic
Never could make a vow
I just didn’t know how
But it might be diff’rent now
Chorus
My heart is taking lessons
Learning how to sing
Ev’ry morning La La La La La La
La La La La, poor thing
My heart is taking lessons
Conscientiously
Ev’ry moment La La La
La La La La, it amazes me
And oh, how hard it labors
To try and make the grade
It may annoy the neighbors
Practicing up on a serenade
My heart is taking lessons
And I noticed too
It began to La La La
La La La La when I looked at you
