If there was an idiot school
I would be the top of the class
I know I acted the fool
I know I failed on my…
Ask me why I left you high and dry
Only to wind up lonely
How could I be so cruel?
I must’ve been to idiot school
If there was a stupid degree
I’d be a qualified klutz
You gave all your loving to me
I gave you a kick in the…
Not so long ago you loved me so
And I was your one and only
I threw away a jewel
I must’ve been to idiot school
We knew when I went away
That one day you’d forget me
I’d come running back today
But you won’t let me
If there was an idiot school
I would be the top of the class
I know I acted the fool
I know I failed on my…
Ask me why I left you high and dry
Only to wind up lonely
How could I be so cruel?
I must’ve been to idiot school
If there was a stupid degree
I’d be a qualified klutz
You gave all your loving to me
I gave you a kick in the…
Not so long ago you loved me so
And I was your one and only
I threw away a jewel
I must’ve been to idiot school
