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 member of the staff I fight my way to the front of class To get the best view of her ass I drop a pencil on the floor She bends down and shows me more [Chorus] That's what I go to school for Even though it is a real bore You can call me crazy I know that she craves me That's what I go to school for Even though it is a real bore Girlfriends iv had plenty None like Miss Mackenzie That's what I go to school for That's what I go to school for So she may be thirty three But that doesn't bother me Her boyfriends working out of town I find a reason to go round I climb a tree outside her home To make sure she is all alone I see her in her underwear I can't help but stop and stare Everyone that you teach all day knows you're lookin' at me in a different way, I guess that's why my marks are gettin' so high I can see those telltale signs tellin' me that I was on you're 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 She's packed her bags its in the trunk Looks like she's picked herself a hunk We drive past school to say goodbye My friends they can't believe their eyes
