"Lessons in Love" was a single from the British band Level 42, released in 1986, from the album Running in the Family, issued one year later.

This single is the band's biggest hit, in their homeland, where it reached no. 3 on the UK Singles Chart, and internationally, entering the Top 10 in numerous countries; even reaching the no. 1 spot in some of them (Germany, South Africa, etc.).

It's also one of the few singles from the band that broke into the Billboard Hot 100, where it reached no. 12 in 1987. It is the first of five singles from their 1987 album, Running in the Family, and it made way for the success of other singles from the album.
