You didn't listen when you went to school You dressed like a clown and you behaved like a fool But now your education is about to begin The difference between love and the mess that you're in You figured you're cool i'll bend all the rules I'll get them going red flags to a bull It's not like the movies no duel in the sun You need the answer to get your love done Now you're going back to school Now you're going to learn the rules Now you're going back, you're going back You're going back to school You know the business or so you believe You set all your sights but you aim to deceive You think you'll hit the target every time that you fire You think you know the difference between love and desire But someone's waiting to turn you around She'll shoot you down and put your feet on the ground It's not like dreamin' you can make mistakes A lesson learned is not so easy to take Now you're going back to school Now you're going to learn the rules Now you're going back, you're going back You're going back to school Now you're going back to school Now you're going to learn the rules Now you're going back, you're going back You're going back to school You're doin' numbers but you don't keep the score They're scratchin' the surface but they don't Reach the core You only bought the ticket You'll never reach the heart until you,ve broken the skin You're busy running but you never relax Live now pay later including the tax But now your education is about to begin Forget about the stories and the places you've been Now you're going back to school Now you're going to learn the rules Now you're going back, you're going back You're going back to school Back to school back to school (mccafferty,agnew charlton,sweet) Copyright 1989 m.a.c.s. music
