He knows all about the movements of the planets
But he don't know how to move me
He knows about the sonic spectrum damnit
But he don't know if it's groovy
He knows about
A-B-C-1-2-3-X-Y-Z
But he don't know about X-T-C
A-B-C-1-2-D-Even I
Ain't in any of his categories
Kind of tall and kind of shy
He's always asking me why
He's always got his head in a book
He doesn't care how I look
He cares about
A-B-C-1-2-3-X-Y-Z
But he don't know about X-T-C
A-B-C-1-2-D-Even I
Ain't in any of his categories
He's the kind of guy
who knows just what he knows
He's the kind of guy
who oh-oh-oo-oh-oh-oh
A-B-C-1-2-3-X-Y-Z
But he don't know about X-T-C
A-B-C-1-2-D-Even I

My interpretation:
They're singing about a guy that's after them but they don't think that they would be a good match. They use a clever play on words, letters, er numbers as they say XTC which is a nickname for ecstacy so what they're saying is that he's studious and knows all about his literature (ABC) and math (123) but not about how to have a good time (XTC/drugs). Not that I'm promoting drugs, lol!! Then again I'm not sure whether they're thinking he might be a good influence on them..? Basically, I think they are pondering over the guy in the song.
