Her voice is echoed in my mind

 I count the days till she is mine

Can't tell my friends 'cause they will laugh

 I love a girl from senior class

I daydream my way through freshman math

 While she fills out her college apps

I'll show her a world where we belong

 But she'll have to drive us to the prom

That's what I go to school for

 Even though it is a real bore

 You can call me crazy

 She is so amazing

 That's what I go to school for

 Even though it is a real bore

 Girlfriends I've had plenty

 But she's the one that I need

 That's what I go to school for

That's what I go to school for

Her boyfriend's just turning nineteen

 But that doesn't bother me

He's back at college out of town

 I find a reason to go round

I climb a tree outside her home

 To make sure she is alone

She looks up and sees me there

 Still I can't help but stop and stare

That's what I go to school for

 Even though it is a real bore

 You can call me crazy

 She is so amazing

 That's what I go to school for

 Even though it is a real bore

 Girlfriends I've had plenty

 But she's the one that I need

 That's what I go to school for

That's what I, what I, what I go to school for

 Everyone that you see all day knows you're looking at me in a different way

I guess that's why my marks are getting so high

I can see those tell tale signs telling me that I was on your mind

I could see that you want it more when you told me that I'm what

 you go to school for

I'm what you go to school for

She's made her choice and I'm the one

 At least 'till graduation comes

We drive past school to wave goodbye

 My friends they can't believe their eyes

That's what I go to school for

 Even though it is a real bore

 You can call me crazy

 She is so amazing

 That's what I go to school for

 Even though it is a real bore

 Girlfriends I've had plenty

 But she's the one that I need

 That's what I go to school for

That's what I, what I, what I go to school for
