You don't learn everything there is to know in school

Wouldn't believe me when I gave advice, I said that he was a tease
If you want help you better ask me nice... So be sincere, convince me with a "pretty please"

Lonely, oh so lonely
Don't think I'm being funny when I say You got just what you deserve
I can't help feeling you found out today... You thought you were too good you had a lot of nerve

Won't say I'm sorry for the things I said I'm glad he packed up to go
You kept on bragging he was yours instead... Found you don't know everything there is to know
[repeat chorus] . . . Instrumental break [play 2X]:
Before I go I'd like to say one thing Don't close your ears to me
Take my advice and you'll find out that being . . . Just another girl won't cause you misery

You say you can get any boy at your call Don't be so smug or else
You'll find you can't get any boy at all . . . You'll wind up an old lady sitting on the shelf
[repeat chorus]
