2. Make the Grade
She sits up front
In all her classes
And all I want
Is to fog her glasses
Someday
If there were some way
She’s got a look
Each time her nose is
In a book
I bet that prose is
Blushing
That they’re even touching
And she knows she could make my day
But I don’t have the GPA
And oh, you know I took her out for shakes
When she had time during a study break
But I’ll admit it always made me sick
When she wouldn’t choose me over arithmetic
And I don’t have the IQ
For a girl like you
When you broke my heart it
Really smarted
Just this year
We shared a locker
She made it clear
She won’t date a rocker
Action
Is just a distraction
Between her and the plans she made
I could never make the grade
Oh you know I took her out her for shakes
When she had time during a study break
But I’ll admit it always made me sick
That she wouldn’t choose me over arithmetic
I don’t have the IQ
For a girl like you
When you broke my heart it
Really smarted
She don’t think much of me
‘Cause I don’t think that much
But such a quick study
Could learn to love me
