Wonderful World
Discovering Love's Wisdom: Wonderful World by The Supremes
Lyrics
Don't know much about history
Expresses a lack of knowledge about history
Don't know much biology
Indicates a lack of knowledge about biology
Don't know much about science book
Highlights a lack of understanding about science from books
Don't know much about the French I took
Admits not knowing much about the French language
But I do know that I love you
Declares a strong affection for the person addressed
And I know that if you love me too
Believes that reciprocated love exists
What a wonderful world this would be
Implies that mutual love would make the world wonderful
Don't know much geography
Admits a lack of knowledge about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Admits not knowing much about trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Admits ignorance about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
Admits not understanding the purpose of a slide rule
But I know that one and one is two
Asserts basic knowledge: one plus one equals two
And if this one could be with you
Expresses a desire to be together with the addressed person
What a wonderful this would be
Implies that being together would create a wonderful world
I don't claim to be an "A" student
Doesn't claim to be a top student ("A" student)
But I'm trying to be
Expresses effort and determination to improve
Maybe my being an "A" student baby
Suggests that being an excellent student might win love
I can win your love for me
Believes that excelling academically might secure love
Don't know much about history
Repeats lack of knowledge about history
Don't know much biology
Repeats lack of knowledge about biology
Don't know much about science book
Repeats lack of understanding about science from books
Don't know much about the French I took
Repeats not knowing much about the French language
But I do know that I love you
Declares strong affection again for the addressed person
And I know that if you love me too
Reiterates belief in reciprocated love
What a wonderful world this would be
Restates the idea that mutual love would make the world wonderful
But I know that one and one is two
Reaffirms basic knowledge: one plus one equals two
And if this one could be with you
Expresses the desire to be with the addressed person again
What a wonderful this would be
Reiterates that being together would create a wonderful world
