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 our her college apps 

I'll show her a world where we belong 

But she'll have to drive us to the prom 



Chorus

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 cant help but stop and stare 



Chorus

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 



Bridge

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 ‘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 

I know that she loves me 

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
