Underachiever

She's an underachiever

She's only passed Spanish and gym

She's not bad at essays

She can bullshit her way through them

She wears the walkman under her hood

She hides the magazine in her book

She looks like she's elsewhereThe girls in the school can be so mean

The boys never pay attention

She's in love with her history teacher

She can't wait till she gets older

UnderachieverThe halls in school look daunting

They get longer and slower each day

She moves past the smiles and whispers

And the rumors that won't go awayThe girls in the school can be so mean

And the boys just don't seem to matter

She looks at the clock every minute or two

She can't wait till class is over

UnderachieverShe wakes up in the morning

With a lump in her throat

She thinks of excuses to stay in bed

All day all day long

She tells me a big secret

She writes to me almost twice a day

It's a lot for me to deal with

I wish I could give her more time'Cause the girls in the school

They were so mean

And the boys never paid me attention

I was in love with my English teacher

I couldn't wait to get olderThe girls in the school

The boys in the school

The halls in the school

The girls in the school

UnderachieverOnly passed Spanish and gym
