Let me tell you 'bout my alma mater 

Got educated by a rich man's daughter 

I didn't have to read a single book 

One lesson is all it took 

My diploma reads First Class Fool 

I graduated from Heartbreak School 



They don't teach science they don't teach math 

Our love is history is your only class 

You do your homework every lonely night 

Study memories till the morning light 

Forget about her is the golden rule 

That's what they teach you in heartbreak school 



You don't get recess you don't get lunch 

You don't get vacation when summer time comes 

You don't get in cause they think your smart 

You pay tuition with a broken heart



I learned to cry and I learned to moan 

I learned I hate to spend my nights alone 

I studied hard on how do I forget you (then I..) 

Wrote a speech on wish I'd never met you 

I got accepted to who needs U 

I was the Valedictorian at Heartbreak school 



You don't get recess you don't get lunch 

You don't get vacation when summer time comes 

You don't get in cause they think your smart 

You pay tuition with a broken heart



So come enroll if you've been mistreated 

Get extra credit if your baby cheated 

All you need are tears and misery 

To start working toward your Ph.D 

Everybody past the age of two 

Gets educated at Heartbreak School 

You'll never find yourself a love that's true 

'Til you've graduated from Heartbreak School
