Daryl Hall & John Oates - Adult Education

Afternoon in the homeroom

They're about to let you go

And the locker slam

On the plan you had tonight

You've been messin' around with a boyfriend

Maybe better left alone

There's a wise guy that you know

Could put you right

In the lot the boy that's idling by

Doesn't rev your heart

Cause it's only lonely spots

He shares with you

And long halls and the gray walls

Are gonna split apart

Believe it or not

There's life after high school

And that's why

The student body got a bad reputation

(Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)

What they need is adult education

Back to school it's a bad situation

(Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)

What you want is an adult education

Oh, yeah

The teacher don't know about how to deal

With the student body (huh, huh)

And the underclassmen are flashing

Hot and cool (huh, huh)

But your girlfriends care

About watch and wear

And talkin about it (huh, huh)

Believe it or not

There's life after high school (huh, huh)

That's right

The student body 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, yeah

They're calling it preparation (huh, huh)

You're waiting for a separation

You're nothing but another odd number (huh, huh)

Memories that you won't remember

So you got a little education (huh, huh)

And a lot of dedication

But you want a little night school (huh, huh)

Maybe some of it'll rub off on ya

The boys are busy in the mirrors (huh, huh)

Trying to imitate their heroes

You make it with a false surrender (huh, huh)

More memories you won't remember

The senior with the Junior Miss (huh, huh)

I wonder what the junior wishes

That she could graduate to adult (huh, huh)

That she could graduate to adult kisses

Adult education

Adult education

Adult education

It's a bad situation
