I was in the classroom after school,   Working on the chalkboard once again.   You were in your uniform,   Standing by the door,   When I saw you,   Saw you there.      You were wondering if I'd walk you home   Even though I lived on the opposite side,   I said sure I don't need to home soon anyway,   Anyway.      Oh textbook love,   Textbook love,   Hold my little hand baby.      I started to wear my dad's cologne,    Started combin my hair to the side,   Anything I could do,   Just to keep your attention on me.      But I was just a phantom passin by,   When you were on the track home with you friends.   I was nobody at all,   I just needed an answer baby.      Textbook love,   Textbook love,   Hold my little hand baby.      Textbook Love.   You were the little girl,   I was dreamin' of.   Hold my little hand baby.      Never will I know what you saw in me,   Surely knew exactly what I saw in you.   Thinking back now,   I'm sure that was the only attraction.      Textbook love,   with a textbook style.   Textbook girl,   With a textbook smile.   Textbook love,   When I was on my way to redemption.      Textbook love,   Textbook love,   Hold my little hand baby.      Textbook Love.   You were the little girl,   I was dreamin' of.   Hold my little hand baby.      Lord it's a shame I know,   Thinking of how it could go.   Hold my little hand baby.   [X2]
