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
