Her voice is echoed in my mind

I count the days til she is mine

I can't tell my friends 'cause they will laugh

I love a girl from senior class

Woah

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

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 that she's 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

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 wanted more

When you told me that I'm what you go to school for

I'm what you go to school for



Shes made her choice and I'm the one

At least 'til 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

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
