[Chorus]
We don't have to go-oh, we don't have to go-oh
We don't have to go-oh, to the senior prom, no way
We don't have to go-oh, we don't have to go-oh
We don't have to go-oh, to the senior prom, no way

[Verse 1]
And, I know it doesn't seem all like it used to be
This came from a dream that made me wanna wake and scream
You're plannin' everything between you and me
I think we're better off as just friends
Why go to the dance where they'll do their thing?
To the band in the stands that doesn't know how to sing
Take a chance with me and we'll go to the beach
Or go to a rock 'n' roll show

[Chorus]
We don't have to go-oh, we don't have to go-oh
We don't have to go-oh, to the senior prom, no way
We don't have to go-oh, we don't have to go-oh
We don't have to go-oh, to the senior prom, no way

[Verse 2]
And, I know it doesn't seem all like it used to be
This came from a dream that made me wanna wake and scream
You're plannin' everything between you and me
I think we're better off as just friends, [?]
Go to the dance where they'll do their thing
Band in the stands that doesn't know how to sing
Take a chance with me and we'll go to the beach
Or go to a rock 'n' roll show
[Bridge]
You were looking forward to the way that I looked in my tuxedo
I was looking to the way you looked into my eyes
I know there's a chance that we might dance in front of our whole school
Why don't we crown ourselves the king and queen of the show tonight?

[Chorus]
We don't have to go-oh, we don't have to go-oh
We don't have to go-oh, to the senior prom, no way
We don't have to go-oh, we don't have to go-oh
We don't have to go-oh, to the senior prom, no way

[Outro]
No, we're on our way
