Letra de I love you, period

Back when i was goin' to school,
i never learned a thing.
all i did was daydream,
a-waitin' for the bell to ring.
I had a certain teacher,
i always tried to impress her.
when she stood up in the classroom,
i would mentally undress her.
Then one day i decided,
that i would write a little letter.
she said the spellin' was a masterpiece,
the punctuation could be better.
I understood what she was saying,
i got the gist of her sentiment.
she said i don't mean to be degrading,
but here's the way that it shoulda went:

i love you - period.
do you love me - question mark.
please, please - exclamation point.
i want to hold you - in parentheses.

right on up to high school,
people said i was a writin' fool.
all my letters became really great,
with punctuation that was never late.
But i was havin' trouble meetin' girls.
i never knew the things to say.
soon i had 'em all overwhelmed,
when they heard me talk this way, like this:

i love you - period.
do you love me - question mark.
please, please - exclamation point.
i want to hold you - in parentheses.
