Adult, adult,
Adult
EducationAfternoon in the homeroom, they're about to let you go
And the locker slams on the plans you had tonight
You've been messing around with your boyfriend, maybe better left alone
There's a wise guy that you know who could put you rightIn the lot, the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart
'Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you
And the long halls and the gray walls are gonna split apart
Believe it or not there's life after high school
And that's whyThe student body's got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
What they need is adult education
You go back to school, it's a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
What you want is an adult
Education
Oh yeahThe teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool
All your girlfriends care about the watch you wear and talkin' about it
Believe it or not there's life after high school
That's whyThe student body's got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
What they need is adult education
You go back to school, is a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
What you want is an adult
Education
Oh yeahThey're calling it a preparation
You're waiting for a separation
You're nothing but another odd number
Memories that you won't rememberSo you got a little education
And a lot of dedication
But you want a little night school
Maybe some of it will rub off on youThe boys are busy in the mirrors
Trying to imitate their heroes
You make it with a false surrender
More memories you won't rememberThe senior with the junior Miss
I wonder what the junior wishes
That she could graduate to adult
That she could graduate to adult kissesAdult education
Adult education
Adult education it's a bad situation
Adult educationAdult, adult, educate, educate, education
Adult, adult, adult, educate, educate, education
Adult, adult
