Or your mother need not learn?

With your head pressed so hard against the stone

I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
[Verse 2]
Isaac, are you listening?
I watched it from afar
Yes, I watched as your life just fell apart
Isaac, I could never learn
Why a father's love must be earned
While your mother need not learn
How to love you
[Chorus]
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
I'm gonna give all my love to you
