Her voice is echoed in my mind
I count the days till she is mine
Can't tell my friends 'cause they will laugh
I love a girl from senior class
Whoa

I daydream through my freshman math
While she fills our her college apps
I'll show her a world where we belong
But she'll have to drive us to the prom

[Chorus]
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
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

I climb a tree outside her home
To make sure that she's alone
She looks up and sees me there
So I can't help but stop and stare

[Chorus]
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
She's the one that I need
That's what I go to school for
That's what I
That's what I
That's what I go to school for

[Bridge]
Everyone that you see all day
Knows you're looking at me in a different way
I guess
That's why
My marks are getting so high
I can see those telltale signs
Telling me that I was on your mind
I could 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 her 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 the one that I need
That's what I go to school for
That's what I go to school for
