Lyrics

You’ve got that school-girl complexion
At facts and figures you’re smart
But, baby, you’re as dumb as sweeties come
When it comes to affairs of the heart (Oh!)

Chorus
You’ve got lips just made for kissin’
You don’t know the fun you’re missin’
Baby, ya gotta lot to learn
You’ve got charms, don’t ever lose ’em
Lovin’ arms, why don’t you use ’em
Baby, ya gotta lot to learn
How’s about a stroll in the moonlight?
There’s a park that’s easy to reach
You can learn so much in the moonlight
I can see that you’d be mighty easy to teach (Oh!)
You look wise but you’re just bluffin’
Comes to love, you know from nuthin’
Baby, ya gotta lot to learn
