Ring of Fire The Musical movie - Straight A's in Love lyrics
rate meSong 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>
<br>
