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 ¡®cause the price was ¡°all in¡±   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
