Well don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
My fingers definately turning to black now
Yeah, maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice

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

Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age
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 the lesson?
Well, 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
