Don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
Well, my fingers are definitely turning to black now
Yeah, well maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah
My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
Well, the longer words are really breaking my back now
Yeah, maybe I'll learn to understand
Drawing a square with a pencil in hand, yeah
Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age
Well, I'm practically center stage
Undeniably earning your wage
Well maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah
Listen master, can you answer a question?
Is it the fingers, or the brain that you're teaching a lesson?
Oh, I can't tell you how proud I am
I'm writing down things that I don't understand
Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah
