Her voice is echoed in my mind
Suara dia terngiang di pikiranku
I count the days till she is mine
Aku menghitung hari sampai dia jadi milikku
Can't tell my friends 'cause they will laugh
Gak bisa bilang ke teman-temanku karena mereka pasti bakal ketawa
I love a girl from senior class
Aku jatuh cinta sama cewek dari kelas 12

I daydream my way through freshman math
Aku melamun saat pelajaran matematika kelas 9
While she fills our her college apps
Sementara dia mengisi aplikasi kuliahnya
I'll show her a world where we belong
Aku akan menunjukkan dunia di mana kita berdua cocok
But she'll have to drive us to the prom
Tapi dia yang harus nyetir kita ke prom

[Chorus]
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
Even though it is a real bore
Meski itu bener-bener membosankan
You can call me crazy
Kamu bisa bilang aku gila
She is so amazing
Dia itu luar biasa
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
Even though it is a real bore
Meski itu bener-bener membosankan
Girlfriends I've had plenty
Aku sudah punya banyak pacar
But she's the one that I need
Tapi dia lah yang aku butuhkan
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah

Her boyfriend's just turning nineteen
Pacarnya baru berumur sembilan belas
But that doesn't bother me
Tapi itu gak bikin aku risau
He's back at college out of town
Dia kuliah di luar kota
I find a reason to go round
Aku cari alasan buat mampir

I climb a tree outside her home
Aku memanjat pohon di depan rumahnya
To make sure she is alone
Untuk memastikan dia sendirian
She looks up and sees me there
Dia melihat ke atas dan melihatku di sana
Still I can't help but stop and stare
Tapi aku tetap gak bisa berhenti untuk menatapnya

[Chorus]
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
Even though it is a real bore
Meski itu bener-bener membosankan
You can call me crazy
Kamu bisa bilang aku gila
She is so amazing
Dia itu luar biasa
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
Even though it is a real bore
Meski itu bener-bener membosankan
Girlfriends I've had plenty
Aku sudah punya banyak pacar
But she's the one that I need
Tapi dia lah yang aku butuhkan
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah

[Bridge]
Everyone that you see all day knows you're looking at me in a different way
Semua orang yang kamu lihat seharian tahu kamu melihatku dengan cara yang berbeda
I guess that's why my marks are getting so high
Aku rasa itu sebabnya nilai-nilaiku semakin tinggi
I can see those tell tale signs telling me that I was on your mind
Aku bisa melihat tanda-tanda yang menunjukkan bahwa aku ada di pikiranmu
I could see that you want it more when you told me that I'm what you go to school for
Aku bisa lihat kamu ingin lebih saat kamu bilang aku adalah alasan kamu pergi ke sekolah
I'm what you go to school for
Aku adalah alasan kamu pergi ke sekolah

She's made her choice and I'm the one
Dia sudah membuat pilihannya dan aku lah yang terpilih
At least 'til graduation comes
Setidaknya sampai kelulusan tiba
We drive past school to wave goodbye
Kami melewati sekolah untuk melambaikan tangan selamat tinggal
My friends they can't believe their eyes
Teman-temanku gak percaya dengan apa yang mereka lihat

That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
Even though it is a real bore
Meski itu bener-bener membosankan
You can call me crazy
Kamu bisa bilang aku gila
I know that she loves me
Aku tahu dia mencintaku
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
Even though it is a real bore
Meski itu bener-bener membosankan
Girlfriends I've had plenty
Aku sudah punya banyak pacar
But she's the one that I need
Tapi dia lah yang aku butuhkan
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
That's what I go to school for
Itulah alasan aku pergi ke sekolah
