Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like I before E except after C
Or why two plus two makes four
Now, now, now I'm gonna teach you (Teach you, teach you)
All about love, yeah! (All about love)
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
[Chorus]
A-B-C
Easy as 1-2-3
Or simple as Do-Re-Mi
A-B-C, 1-2-3
Baby, you and me, girl! (A-B-C)
Easy as 1-2-3
Or simple as Do-Re-Mi
A-B-C, 1-2-3
Baby, you and me, girl! (Come on, let me love you just a little bit)
Come on, let me love you just a little bit
I'ma gonna teach how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me show you what it's all about
[Verse 2]
Reading, writing, 'rithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But listen, without the roots of love every day, girl
Your education ain't complete
T-T-T-Teacher's gonna show you (Show you, show you)
How to get an "A" (Na-na-na-na, na-na)
Spell me, you (You add the two)
Listen to me baby, that's all you gotta do
[Chorus]
Oh, A-B-C
It's easy as 1-2-3
Or simple as Do-Re-Mi
A-B-C, 1-2-3
Baby, you and me, girl (A-B-C)
See, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (1-2-3)
Sing a simple melody (Do-Re-Mi, A-B-C)
That's how easy love can be
Now, that's how easy love can be
Sing a simple melody
1-2-3, you and me
[Bridge]
Sit down, girl
I think I love you
No, get up, girl
Show me what you can do
Shake it, shake it, baby, come on now
Shake it, shake it, baby, ooh-ooh
Shake it, shake it, baby, huh
1-2-3, baby, ooh-ooh
A-B-C, baby, nah-nah
Do-Re-Mi, baby, now
That's how easy love can be
[Chorus]
A-B-C, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (1-2-3)
Sing a simple melody (Do-Re-Mi, A-B-C)
That's how easy love can be
I'm-a gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me show you what it's all about
[Chorus]
A-B-C, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (1-2-3)
Sing a simple melody (Do-Re-Mi, A-B-C)
That's how easy love can be
I'm-a gonna teach you how to sing it out
Sing it out, sing it, sing it, sing it (Oh, oh, oh, baby)
[Chorus]
A-B-C, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (1-2-3)
Sing a simple melody (Do-Re-Mi, A-B-C)
