[Verse 1]
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
Whoa, whoa

[Verse 2]
I daydream through my freshman math
While 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

[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
But she's the one that I need
That's what I go to school for
That's what I go to school for

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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

[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
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

[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, tellin' me that I was on your mind
I could see that you want it more when you told me that I'm what you go to school for
I'm what you go to school for
[Verse 5]
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 (Oh)

[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
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
