It's afternoon in the homeroom and they're about to let you go
And the locker slam on the plan you had tonight
You've been messing around with a boyfriend maybe better left alone
There's a wise guy that you know could put you right

In the lot the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart
Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you
And the long halls and the gray walls are gonna split apart
Believe it or not there's life after high school

The student body's got a bad reputation
What they need is adult education
Back to school it's a bad situation
But what you want is an adult education

The teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool
All your girlfriends care about the watch you wear and they're talkin' about it
Believe it or not there's life after high school

They're calling it a preparation
You're waiting for a separation
You're nothing but another odd number,
Memories that you won't remember
So you got a little education
And a lot of dedication
But you want a little night school
Maybe some of it will rub off on you
The boys are busy in the mirrors
Trying to imitate their heroes
You make it with a false surrender
More memories you won't remember
The senior with the junior miss's
I wonder what the junior wishes
That she could graduate to adult
That she could graduate to adult kisses
