Don't bother going to class
Cause nobody cares if you cut
And its not smart to experiment
With Ben-Gay on your nuts

If you ask her out and she says, "maybe"
What she really means is: "no way"
And if you try jerking off behind the back-stop
the team will be playing that day

*Oh-god*

These are the things - I wish I knew
These are the things I wish I knew in high chool
Yeah, these are the things - I wish I knew in high school

Dont call the head jock a fag
Even if its true
And don't hold out for that one special girl
'Cause she'll never have sex with you

*No-way*

These are the things - I wish I knew
These are the things I wish I knew in high school
Yeah, these are the things - I wish I knew in high school

Dont let 'em see ya crying
No matter how it hurts
And nobody ever got laid
Cause they were wearing a rush t-shirt.

*no---*

These are the things - I wish I knew

*I wish I knew*

These are the things I wish I knew in highschool

*The things I wish I knew*

Yeah
These are the things-I wish I knew in high school
