"It'll Come To You" lyrics - IRVING BERLIN

[Verse:]
When life catches up with the flaming youth
Someone tries to tell them the awful truth
I would send them ignorant on their way
To those little innocents I would say

[1st refrain:]
Don't worry so about the things that you don't know
When the time comes and you find yourself in love
It'll come to you, you'll know what to do, it'll come to you

Don't be concerned about the things you haven't learned
If you can't express just what you're thinking of
It'll come to you, you'll know what to do, it'll come to you

No one teaches a duck how to swim or a bird how to fly
They're not taught to do what they ought to do
Why should you and I?

Don't be afraid because you're such a bashful maid
When you're strolling 'neath the silv'ry moon
You may be shy but pretty soon
It'll come to you, you'll know what to do, it'll come to you

[2nd refrain:]
Don't start to plan to rebuff a fresh young man
When you're in a cab and he starts making free
It'll come to you, you'll know what to do, it'll come to you

Don't lie awake and think of answers you might make
When he starts to put his hand upon your knee
It'll come to you, you'll know what to do, it'll come to you

No one teaches a mule how to kick or a dog how to bite
They know what to do and what not to do
When they're out at night

Don't be undone because the first round has been won
He begins to think that you're a dunce
It seems you're lost, then all at once
It'll come to you, you'll know what to do, it'll come to you
