Her voice is echoed in my mind
I count the days ‘til she is mine.
Can’t tell my friends ‘cause they will laugh,
I love a girl from senior class.
And I daydream through my freshman math
As she fills out her college apps

I'll show her a world where we belong
But she’ll have to drive us to the prom

That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore,
You can call me crazy,
She is so amazing

That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore,
Girlfriends I’ve had plenty
But she’s the one that I need

That’s what I go to school for,
That’s what I go to school for…

Her boyfriend’s just turning nineteen,
But that doesn’t bother me
He’s back at college out of town,
I find a reason to go ‘round

And I climb a tree outside her home,
To make sure that she’s alone.
She looks up and sees me there
Still, I can’t help but stop and stare…

That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore,
You can call me crazy,
She is so amazing

That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore,
Girlfriends I’ve had plenty
But she’s the one that I need

That’s what I go to school for,
That’s what I, what I, what I go to school for!

Everyone that you see all day knows your looking at me in a different way
I guess, that’s why my marks are getting so high
I can see those tell-tale signs telling me that I was on your mind
I can see that you wanted more when you told me that I’m what you go to school for
I’m what you go to school for…

She’s made a choice and I’m the one,
At least ‘til graduation comes…
We drive past school to wave goodbye
My friends, they can’t believe their eyes…

That’s what I go to school for,
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
She is so amazing

That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore,
Girlfriends I’ve had plenty
But she’s that one that I need

That’s what I go to school for
That’s what I! What I! What I go to school for…
