Straight A's In Love

Bob Dylan

"Empire Burlesque" session, Cherokee Studios, Hollywood LA - 14.feb.1985  

You ain't so good in arithmetic baby
You don't know how to count
When it comes to spending money
It's never the right amount
But baby, you know two and two is four
Baby, that'll be the day
But in love, crazy love, you get straight A!

In history, you don't do too well
You don't know how to read
You could confuse Geronimo
With Johnny Appleseed
And if you don't know who Thomas Edison is
Well, baby, that's OK
But in love, crazy love, you get straight A!

You could fall off the honor roll
You wouldn't need a shove
But you graduate with honors
From the school of love, well.

You aren't doing too well in geography
Baby, you can never read a map
And if you're doing the teacher talks
It's a time you take a nap
You thought that England is in Spain
Baby, that's OK
But in love, crazy love, you get straight A!

You could fall off the honor roll
Baby, you wouldn't need a shove
But you graduate with honors
From the school of love, well.

You don't know much about geography
Baby, you can't read a map
Every time the teacher starts to talking
Baby, you take a nap
You might think England is in Spain
But baby, that's OK
But in love, crazy love, you get straight A!
