In the school

(In the school)

(In the school)

(In the school)

In the school of love (school of love)

I was all mixed up (all mixed up)

I didn't get it, get it, get it, yeah

I wasn't quick to pick it up

In the school of slow dance

I was shaking it too fast

I didn't get it, get it, get it, yeah

'Cause I was always skipping class

So tell me how to do it

Tell me how to love like that (like that)

Does it take a lot of practice?

Or do you gotta have the knack? (The knack)

I really wanna do it

I really wanna love like that

But I don't wanna practice

I just wanna have the knack

(The knack, the knack, the knack)

In the race of romance

I was always coming in last

I was tripping, tripping, tripping out

On the rocky little path

In the art of the whisper

I couldn't paint such a picture

I was screaming!

Screaming, screaming, loud

When the boy was trying to kiss her

So tell me how to do it

Tell me how to love like that

Does it take a lot of practice?

Or do you gotta have the knack?

I really wanna do it

I really wanna love like that

But I don't wanna practice

I just wanna have the knack

I just wanna have the virtue

And I don't really wanna hurt you

Oh, baby, don't hurt me too

I just wanna have the talent

But I don't wanna have to practice

Like they do

So tell me how to do it

Tell me how to love like that (like that)

Does it take a lot of practice?

Or do you gotta have the knack? (The knack)

I really wanna do it

I really wanna love like that!

So tell me how to do it

Tell me how to love like that

Does it take a lot of practice?

Or do you gotta have the knack?

I really wanna do it

I really wanna love like that!

But I don't wanna practice

I just wanna have the knack

I just wanna have the knack!

I just wanna have the knack! (Knack!)

I just wanna have the knack!

I just wanna have the knack
