Barry's Learning

Good girl Joan and she's looking pretty nice
Like all her friends, she's made of sugar and spice
Her boyfriends Barry and he's staying out all night
He's working pretty late and ready for a fight, oh yeah

Barry's learning the hard way

They've been together now for over a year
She's not about to say what he wants to hear
Enough's enough he says its time to hit the sack
He's got his hopes too high that's why she's going back to mother

Barry's learning the hard way

Don't about face on the world
Gotta take your place in the world
Gunna find you can't get by without me
Don't go and hide in your car
Show me what you've learned so far
Don't you know my names Barry

Good girl Joan but she's been there before
She likes to hide it but I know that she wants more
Her friend Barry's just an ordinary guy
But what she offers him gets him just too high for her
