Back when I was goin` to school,
I never learned a thing
All I did was daydream,
a-waitin` 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 spellin` 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 should`ve went:`
Chorus) I love you period
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
Right on up to high school,
people said I was a writin` fool
All my letters became really great,
with punctuation that was never late
But I was havin` trouble meetin` girls,
I never knew the things to say
Soon I had `em all overwhelmed,
when they heard me talk this way, like this:
Chorus) I love you period
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
