You didn't listen when you went to school

You dressed like a clown and you behaved like a fool

But now your education is about to begin

The difference between love and the mess that you're in

You figured you're cool I'll bend all the rules

I'll get them going red flags to a bull

It's not like the movies no duel in the sun

You need the answer to get your love done

Now you're going back to school

Now you're going to learn the rules

Now you're going back, you're going back

You're going back to school

You know the business or so you believe

You set all your sights but you aim to deceive

You think you'll hit the target every time that you fire

You think you know the difference between love and desire

But someone's waiting to turn you around

She'll shoot you down and put your feet on the ground

It's not like dreamin' you can make mistakes

A lesson learned is not so easy to take

Now you're going back to school

Now you're going to learn the rules

Now you're going back, you're going back

You're going back to school

Now you're going back to school

Now you're going to learn the rules

Now you're going back, you're going back

You're going back to school

You're doin' numbers but you don't keep the score

They're scratchin' the surface but they don't

Reach the core

You only bought the ticket 'cause the price was "all in"

You'll never reach the heart until you,ve broken the skin

You're busy running but you never relax

Live now pay later including the tax

But now your education is about to begin

Forget about the stories and the places you've been

Now you're going back to school

Now you're goi
