lyrics

Day one: you opened up your book and let me begin
No fun; it's harder than it looks to read what's within
Day one: you teach me my own tongue that I thought I knew
I'm undone; it's English 101 when I try explaining you

I'm caught by the look in your eye
Turn back again and I lost my place
And, oh, I promise I'll try
Learning the lessons but I study your face
And I wouldn't waste your time
Teach me to read tonight

Finger follows just below the words that you say
I linger whenever I don't know the meaning of your ways
Day one: you opened up my eyes to show me something new
So fun, your English 101; I love learning 'bout you

I'm caught by the look in your eye
Turn back again and I lost my place
And, oh, I promise I'll try
Learning the lessons but I study your face
And I wouldn't waste your time
Teach me to read tonight

As I thumb through your pages
Your body assuages my worrying mind
When I've got no words for saying
What I have been praying for

I'm caught by the look in your eye
Turn back again and I lost my place
And, oh, I promise I'll try
Learning the lessons but I study your face
And I wouldn't waste your time
Teach me to read tonight
