This song is about the singer not feeling like he knows “how to love” and that everyone else is much better at it. He asks if it’s something people are practicing, or is it “coded in them” – “The Knack”.
[Intro]
In the school, in the school, in the school
[Verse 1]
In the school of love (School of love)
I was all mixed up (All mixed up)
I didn't get it, get it, get it, yeah
I wasn't quick to pick it up
In the school of slow dance
I was shaking it too fast
I didn't get it, get it, get it, yeah
'Cause I was always skipping class
[Chorus]
So, tell me how to do it
Tell me how to love like that (Like that)
Does it take a lot of practice?
Or do you gotta have the knack? (The knack)
I really wanna do it
I really wanna love like that
But I don't wanna practice
I just wanna have the knack
(The knack, the knack, the knack)
[Verse 2]
In thе race of romance
I was always comin' in la-ast
I was tripping, tripping, tripping out
On a rocky little path
In thе art of a whisper
I couldn't paint such a picture
I was screaming, screaming, screaming loud
When the boy was trying to kiss her
[Chorus]
So, tell me how to do it
Tell me how to love like that
Does it take a lot of practice?
Or do you gotta have the knack?
I really wanna do it
I really wanna love like that
But I don't wanna practice
I just wanna have the knack
[Bridge]
I just wanna have the virtue
And I don't really wanna hurt you
Oh, baby, don't hurt me too
I just wanna have the talent
But I don't wanna have to practice
Like they do
[Chorus]
So, tell me how to do it
Tell me how to love like that (Like that)
Does it take a lot of practice?
Or do you gotta have the knack? (The knack)
I really wanna do it
I really wanna love like that
So, tell me how to do it
Tell me how to love like that
Does it take a lot of practice?
Or do you gotta have the knack?
I really wanna do it
I really wanna love like that
But I don't wanna practice
I just wanna have the knack
[Outro]
I just wanna have the knack
I just wanna have the knack
I just wanna have the knack
I just wanna have the knack
