    Verse 1
    Asked 
    my 
    daddy 
    when 

    I 
    was 
    thirteen 

    "Daddy, 
    can 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    what 

    a lover 
    really 
    means?" 

    His 
    eyes 
    went 
    glassy, 
    not 
    a 
    word 
    was 
    said 

    He 
    poured 
    another 
    beer 
    and 

    Verse 2
    his 
    face 
    turned 
    red 

    Asked 
    my 
    mother, 
    she 
    acted 
    the same 

    She 
    never 
    looked 
    up, 

    she seemed 
    so 
    ashamed 

    Asked 
    my 
    teacher, 

    he 
    reached 
    for 
    the 
    cane 

    He said 
    "Don't 
    mention 
    that 

    subject 
    again" 

    Verse 3

    (Read
    about 
    love) 

    I 
    read 
    it 
    in 
    a magazine 

    (Read about 
    love) 

    Cosmo 
    and Seventeen 

    (Read about love) 

    In the 
    back 
    of 
    Hustler, 
    Hustler, 
    Hustler 

    Verse 4
    So 
    I 
    know 
    what 
    makes 
    girls 
    sigh 

    And 
    I 
    know 
    why 
    girls 
    cry 

    So 
    don't 
    tell 
    me 
    I 
    don't 
    under
    stand 

    What 
    makes 
    a 
    woman 
    and 

    what 
    makes 
    a 
    man 

    I've 
    never 
    been 
    to 
    heaven 

    But 
    at 
    least 
    I've 
    read 
    about 
    love 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    My

    like 
    kissing 
    and

    too 

    But

    got 
    to 
    know 
    what 

    a

    got 
    to 
    do 

    Verse 6
    He 
    gave 
    me 
    a 
    book, 

    the cover 
    was 
    plain 

    Written 
    by 
    a 
    doctor 
    with 
    a 
    German 
    name 

    It 
    had 
    glossy 
    pictures, 
    serious 
    stuff 

    I 
    read 
    it seven 
    times, 

    then 
    I 
    knew 
    it 
    well 
    enough 

    Verse 7

    (Read
    about 
    love) 

    And 
    now 
    I've 
    got 
    you 

    (Read about

    Where 
    I 
    want 
    you 

    (Read about

    I got 
    you 
    on 
    the 
    test 
    bed, 
    test 
    bed, 
    test

    Verse 8
    So 
    why 
    don't 
    you 
    moan 
    and 
    sigh? 

    And 
    why 
    do 
    you sit 
    there 
    and 
    cry? 

    I do 
    everything 
    I'm 
    sup

    posed 
    to 
    do 

    If something's 
    wrong, 

    then 
    it 
    must 
    be 
    you 

    I 
    know 
    the 
    ways 
    of 
    a 
    wo
    man 

    I've 
    read 
    about

    you 
    there 
    it's 

    sup
    posed

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
