Ring of Fire The Musical movie - Straight A's in Love lyrics

rate me

Song by Johnny Cash<br /><br>

well, the readin' and the writtin' and arithmatic<br>

never did get through to me<br>

it ain't because i'm square or thick<br>

'cause i learned my ABC's<br>

but when i graduated from the grammer school<br>

and i moved one grade above<br>

i began to be a snook at books<br>

but i made straight A's in love<br>

<br>

now the teacher would say <br>

to learn your algebra<br>

but i'd bring home C's and D's<br>

how could i make an A<br>

when there's a swingin' maid<br>

on the left and on the right<br>

and in the back and the front of me<br>

oh, my grades are low<br>

on my card i know<br>

but they oughta give me one above<br>

if they'd give me a mark<br>

for learnin' in the dark<br>

i'd have straight A's in love<br>

<br>

now in my senior year<br>

with graduation near<br>

i did my homework everynight<br>

and when my momma said<br>

i oughta go to bed<br>

i turn out all the lights<br>

but my sweetie pie<br>

was waitin' right outside<br>

she'd be a cooin' like a dove<br>

though i did my best<br>

i failed semester test<br>

but made straight A's in love<br>

<br>

now the teacher would say<br>

to learn your algebra<br>

but i'd bring home C's and D's<br>

how could i make an A<br>

when there's a swingin' maid<br>

on the left and on the right<br>

and in the back and the front of me<br>

oh, my grades are low<br>

on my card i know<br>

but they oughta give me one above<br>

if they'd give me a mark<br>

for learnin' in the dark<br>

i'd have straight A's in love<br>
