"You Can't Teach An Old Heart New Tricks" lyrics

You Can't Teach An Old Heart New Tricks

I thought my world had ended
My woman went away
But when you came into my life
They dawned the brighter day

You've been teaching me the secret
Of love and happiness
Who says you can't
Teach an old heart new tricks?

Who says you can't
Teach an old heart new tricks?
You got the heart of this working man
A doing double flips

You make me think there's magic
In this calloused fingertips
Who says you can't
Teach an old heart new tricks?

You've made me watch my manners
And try to do things right
And to say, "I love you"
Almost every night

Even church on Sunday morning
Now ain't far to switch
Who says you can't
Teach an old heart new tricks?

Who says you can't
Teach an old heart new tricks?
You got the heart of this working man
A doing double flips

You make me think there's magic
In this calloused fingertips
Who says you can't
Teach an old heart new tricks?

Who says you can't
Teach an old heart new tricks?
