Hey, back when I was going to school
D A
I never learned a thing
A E
All I did was daydream
E A
And waiting for the bell to ring
A D
I had a certain teacher
D A
I always tried to impress her
A E
When she stood up in the classroom
E A
I would mentally undress her
A D
Then one day I decided
D A
That I would write a little letter
A E
She said the spelling was a masterpiece
E A
The punctuation could be better
A D
I understood what she was saying
D A
I got the gist of her sentiment
A E
She said I don't mean to be degrading
E A
But here's the way that it shoulda went
chorus
A D
I love you period
D A
Do you love me question mark
A E
Please please exclamation point
E A
I wanna hold you in parentheses
A D
I love you period
D A
Do you love me question mark
A E
Please please exclamation point
E A
I wanna hold you in parentheses

A D
Oh! (Come on , come on)
A D A E A
A D
Right on up to high school
D A
People said I was a writing fool
A E
All my letters became really great
E A
With punctuation that was never late
A D
But I was having trouble meeting girls
D A
I never knew what things to say
A E
Soon I had them all overwhelmed
E A
When they heard me talk this way
chorus
A D
I love you period
D A
Do you love me question mark
A E
Please please exclamation point
E A
I wanna hold you in parentheses
A D
I love you period
D A
Do you love me question mark
A E
Please please exclamation point
E A
I wanna hold you in parentheses
