Pulling together the biblical sound and isolation of the bygone days of revelation with an atmosphere filled with hope and salvation, King Dude has woven his own brand of American music. He brandishes many varied influences in his songwriting. Everything from British Folk, Americana, Country and Blues can be heard in his songs. Even the heavier sounds of Heavy Metal tend to sneak and slither it's way into the King Dude canon. The resulting songs are much more of a modern day hymn then average pop song.
Who Taught You How To Love
King Dude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She said she's gonna be a movie star someday.
(Well she knows how to act the part,
that's for sure.)
She said she can't fall in love.
She said she's never kissed a man before.
(That's when she took her clothes off,
And got in the backseat of my car.)
Who taught you how to love like that?
It's a one-way ticket to a heart attack.
I wonder if she's coming back in my life?
That's when she told me to drive.
She said she didn't care where we go.
She said she doesn't feel alive (anymore).
She was looking at death.
But she only looked 18-years-old.
I wonder if she's coming back (in my life)?
Who taught you how to love like that?
It's a one-way ticket to a heart attack.
I wonder if she's coming back in my life?
Who taught you how to kiss this way?
If you were born like this, baby, I will kneel and pray,
And thank the lord above for what he made every night.
(Who taught you how to love?)
(Who taught you how to love love love?)
(Who taught you how to love?)
Who taught you how to love love love?

It's a one-way ticket to a heart attack.

Who taught you how to kiss this way?
If you were born like this, baby, I will kneel and pray,
And thank the lord above for what he made every night.

The song "Who Taught You How to Love" by King Dude tells the story of a seductive encounter with a young woman in Los Angeles who is on the path to becoming a movie star. The singer is captivated by her looks and personality, but also intrigued by her assertion that she has never been in love before. Despite warning signs that she may be reckless with hearts, he cannot resist her charm and eventually takes her to a place where she can feel alive again. However, he is left wondering if she will ever return to his life and who could have taught her to love and kiss the way she does.
On a deeper level, the song reflects on the dangerous allure of Hollywood and the ways in which it can distort one's sense of reality and relationships. The woman in the song seems to be using her sexuality as a means of escape or self-destruction, which may be a sign of deeper pain or disillusionment. The singer is both drawn to and hesitant towards her, recognizing both her beauty and her potential for harm.
