Johnny Cash Straight A's In Love Lyrics

Straight A's In Love lyrics

well, the readin' and the writtin' and arithmatic
never did get through to me
it ain't because i'm square or thick
'cause i learned my ABC's
but when i graduated from the grammer school
and i moved one grade above
i began to be a snook at books
but i made straight A's in love

now the teacher would say
to learn your algebra
but i'd bring home C's and D's
how could i make an A
when there's a swingin' maid
on the left and on the right
and in the back and the front of me
oh, my grades are low
on my card i know
but they oughta give me one above
if they'd give me a mark
for learnin' in the dark
i'd have straight A's in love

now in my senior year
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/johnny-cash-lyrics/straight-a_s-in-love-lyrics.html ]
with graduation near
i did my homework everynight
and when my momma said
i oughta go to bed
i turn out all the lights
but my sweetie pie
was waitin' right outside
she'd be a cooin' like a dove
though i did my best
i failed semester test
but made straight A's in love

now the teacher would say
to learn your algebra
but i'd bring home C's and D's
how could i make an A
when there's a swingin' maid
on the left and on the right
and in the back and the front of me
oh, my grades are low
on my card i know
but they oughta give me one above
if they'd give me a mark
for learnin' in the dark
i'd have straight A's in love
