hey back when i was going to school
i never learned a thing
all i did was daydream
awaitin’ 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 spelling 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
i love you period
and do you love me question mark
please please exclamation point
i want to hold you in parentheses
i love you period
and do you love me question mark
please please exclamation point
i want to hold you in parentheses
come on come on come on
right on up to high school
people said i was a writing fool
all my letters became really great
with punctuation that was never late
but i was having trouble meeting girls
i never knew the things to say
soon i had ’em all overwhelmed
when they heard me talk this way
like this
i love you period
and do you love me question mark
please please exclamation point
i want to hold you in parentheses
i love you period
do you love me question mark
please please exclamation point
i want to hold you in parentheses come on
i love you period
and do you love me question mark
well please please exclamation point
yeah i want to hold you in parentheses
oh oh oh
whoo
