"Teacher's Pet" lyrics
All I know
I learned from failure
All I know
From eternally fuckin' up
The teacher I go back to
Over and over
One more thing
All I know
I learned from wonder
All I know
From wandering in the darkness
But I won't be overcome by it
How smart do I have to get
Before I'm allowed to graduate
Desperately I don't wanna be
Teacher's pet
Couldn't focus on nothing
But drums and guitar
Couldn't keep up with the homework
Dad tried keep me from falling too far
Said earn a 3.0 or wear a collared shirt
Wouldn't dream of going all the way
But I still went too far with my girlfriend
Tell me you love promise you'll stay
Treat me however you want then
I drove her mom's car without asking
Unlicensed I crashed it in traffic
I asked my friend to trade places
Cost all my savings
Years of payments
How smart do I have to get
Before I'm allowed to graduate
Honestly trying to give myself to this
Praying that I can get away with it
Desperately I don't wanna be
Teacher's pet
I learned from failure
All I know
From eternally fuckin' up
The teacher I go back to
Over and over
One more thing
All I know
I learned from wonder
All I know
From wandering in the darkness
But I won't be overcome by it
How smart do I have to get
Before I'm allowed to graduate
Desperately I don't wanna be
Teacher's pet
Couldn't focus on nothing
But drums and guitar
Couldn't keep up with the homework
Dad tried keep me from falling too far
Said earn a 3.0 or wear a collared shirt
Wouldn't dream of going all the way
But I still went too far with my girlfriend
Tell me you love promise you'll stay
Treat me however you want then
I drove her mom's car without asking
Unlicensed I crashed it in traffic
I asked my friend to trade places
Cost all my savings
Years of payments
How smart do I have to get
Before I'm allowed to graduate
Honestly trying to give myself to this
Praying that I can get away with it
Desperately I don't wanna be
Teacher's pet
