Back when I was going to school
I never learned a thing
all I did was daydream
waiting 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 shouda 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 2X
