Hey back when I was going to school

I never learned a thing

All I did was daydream

A-waiting for the bell to ring

I had a certain teacher

I always tried to impress her

When she stood up in the classroom

I would mentally undress her

Then one day I decided

That I would write a little letter

She said the spelling was a masterpiece

The punctuation could be better

I understood what she was saying

I got the gist of her sentiment

She said "I don't mean to be degrading

But here's the way that it shoulda went"

I love you period

And do you love me question mark

Please please exclamation point

I want to hold you in parentheses

I love you period

And do you love me question mark

Please please exclamation point

I want to hold you in parentheses

Come on come on come on

Right on up to high school

People said I was a writing fool

All my letters became really great

With punctuation that was never late

But I was having trouble meeting girls

I never knew the things to say

Soon I had 'em all overwhelmed

When they heard me talk this way

Like this

I love you period

And do you love me question mark

Please please exclamation point

I want to hold you in parentheses

I love you period

Do you love me question mark

Please please exclamation point

I want to hold you in parentheses come on

I love you period

And do you love me question mark

Well please please exclamation point

Yeah I want to hold you in parentheses

Oh oh oh

Whoo
