Lyrics
THAT?S WHAT I LEARNED IN SCHOOL
?Couldn?t stay awake in class.
?Couldn?t seem to do much more than pass.
?Couldn?t ever concentrate.
?Couldn?t seem to keep from being late.
All I learned was loving you,
And a thousand things you do.
Sometimes you have to play the fool?
That?s what I learned in school.
?Couldn?t learn the things they say I should.
?Never saw it doing any good.
?Couldn?t seem to stop from having fun.
?Couldn?t see me being anyone.
All I learned was loving you,
And thousand things you do.
Thought that you would always love me, too?
That?s what I learned in school.
BRIDGE
You taught me how to open up my life,
When I carried your books, you carried my heart, with you?
Instrumental break
?Couldn?t keep my mind on it.
?Couldn?t seem to play the games they did.
?Couldn?t keep my mind on schoolish things.
?Didn?t know my Princes from my Kings.
What I learned was loving you,
And all the little things you do.
?Never thought I?d mind being your fool?
That?s what I learned in school.
All I learned was loving you,
And thousand things you do.
Thought that you would always love me, too?
That?s what I learned in school.
