Let me tell you 'bout my alma mater   Got educated by a rich man's daughter   I didn't have to read a single book   One lesson is all it took   My diploma reads First Class Fool   I graduated from Heartbreak School      They don't teach science they don't teach math   Our love is history is your only class   You do your homework every lonely night   Study memories till the morning light   Forget about her is the golden rule   That's what they teach you in heartbreak school      You don't get recess you don't get lunch   You don't get vacation when summer time comes   You don't get in cause they think you're smart   You pay tuition with a broken heart      I learned to cry and I learned to moan   I learned I hate to spend my nights alone   I studied hard on how do I forget you (then I )   Wrote a speech on wish I'd never met you   I got accepted to who needs you   I was the Valedictorian at Heartbreak School      You don't get recess you don't get lunch   You don't get vacation when summer time comes   You don't get in cause they think you're smart   You pay tuition with a broken heart      So come enroll if you've been mistreated   Get extra credit if your baby cheated   All you need are tears and misery   To start working toward your Ph.D   Everybody past the age of two   Gets educated at Heartbreak School   You'll never find yourself a love that's true   'Til you've graduated from Heartbreak School
