A B C D E F G
I never learned to spell
At least not well

I never learned to count

But my busy mind is burning to use
What learning I've got

If they asked me, I could write a book

So the world would never forget

And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
And the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers of friends

And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
And the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers of friends
