Take me back to school
Where the colors were bright
I swear I won't
Be such a joker this time
I'll make the grades
And I will never be late
So I made friends with the geeks in home room
Ain't it funny how we all got straight-As
I would cheat
Cheat if the winner gets you
You're so sweet
Sweetest thing I could lose
Strapped on my shoes
Set my feet just right
Did all my stretches
So my legs would not get tight
And then a bang
The sound of that gun
Some gave it all of their might
And so what no one could see
Is when I stepped on their feet
So I would be the first to cross the finish line
I would cheat
Cheat if the winner gets you
You're so sweet
Sweetest thing I could lose
I would cheat
Cheat if the winner gets you
You're so sweet
Sweetest thing I could lose
If only...
Only if I could win you
And you win me too
