This song
Is for beginners only
Intended for the lost
And lonely
Your day's overdue
But love will come to you
'Cause love
Is for beginners only
And if you ask
"Has love outgrown me?"
Don't think that you're through
All the winners
Who have loved
By the hand
Began
As just beginners
So you must understand
Each time that love
Has got you
To the top
Of the ride
You'll stop
And slide
Back to the start
Make sure your heart
Is for beginners only
Let's love
As if you've never known me
I'm showing you how
Beginning as of now
All the winners
Who have loved
By the hand
Began
As just beginners
So you must understand
Each time that love
Has got you
To the top
Of the ride
You'll stop
And slide
Back to the start
Make sure your heart
Is for beginners only
Let's love
As if you've never known me
I'm showing you how
Beginning as of now
Is for beginners only
Intended for the lost
And lonely
Your day's overdue
But love will come to you
'Cause love
Is for beginners only
And if you ask
"Has love outgrown me?"
Don't think that you're through
All the winners
Who have loved
By the hand
Began
As just beginners
So you must understand
Each time that love
Has got you
To the top
Of the ride
You'll stop
And slide
Back to the start
Make sure your heart
Is for beginners only
Let's love
As if you've never known me
I'm showing you how
Beginning as of now
All the winners
Who have loved
By the hand
Began
As just beginners
So you must understand
Each time that love
Has got you
To the top
Of the ride
You'll stop
And slide
Back to the start
Make sure your heart
Is for beginners only
Let's love
As if you've never known me
I'm showing you how
Beginning as of now
