Hall & Oates

Songwriter: John Oates Daryl Hall

Producer: Christopher Bond

You'll never learn
You who cheat
You who lie
Now don't you hate you in the morning
You'll never learn
You be heat
You be ice
You're getting love mixed up with hunger
You'll never learn
No you'll never...
You could change
You're not too far gone
Life's such a pain, ain't it
No dying's no fun
Mistakes you've made
You'll make again and again
No you'll never learn
No, no, I know you're never never gonna learn
No, no, never
Razor queen
Suicide
You've got some twisted medication
And you'll never learn
And the scars from the trial
Are just another indication
That you'll never learn
No, no, know you're never never gonna learn
No, no, never

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
