Songtekst

Back when I was goin` to school,
I never learned a thing
All I did was daydream,
A-waitin` for the bell to ring

I had a certain teacher,
I always tried to impress her,
When she stood up in the classroom,
I would mentally undress her

Then one day I decided,
That I would write a little letter
She said the spellin` was a masterpiece,
The punctuation could be better,

I understood what she was saying,
I got the gist of her sentiment,
She said I don`t mean to be degrading,
But here`s the way that it shoulda went

Chorus (2x):
I love you period
Do you love me question mark
Please, please exclamation point
I want to hold you in parentheses

Right on up to high school,
People said I was a writin` fool,
All my letters became really great,
With punctuation that was never late,
But I was havin` trouble meetin` girls,
I never knew the things to say,
Soon I had `em all overwhelmed,
When they heard me talk this way,

Like this

Chorus
