GHer voice is echoed in my Dmind
I count the days till she Emis mineC

She bends down and shows me more...
[Hook]
That's what I go to sGchool for, even though it is a Creal bore
You can call me Emcrazy, I know that she Dcraves me
That's what I go to Gschool for, even though it is a Creal bore
Girlfriends I've had Emplenty, none like Miss MacDkenzie

GSo she may be thirty-Dthree
But that doesn't boEmther meC

I find a reason to gEmo roundC  
[Verse 4]
GI climb a tree outside her Dhome
To make sure that she's aEmloneC  
GI see her in her underDwear

I can't help but stop and stare

That's what I go to Emschool for
[Bridge]
(Em)                                         D  
Everyone that you teach all day knows you're looking at me in a different way
