The pressure builds up all year long But I'll try and stick it out Just one more day My teachers and my parents They never let up - they're always on my case Just one more day The homework I get sometimes is way too much So I'll copy off my friends Just one more day The friends I've made - I'll never forget When I need help - they push me on Just one more day I open my eyes to another day I know what's ahead and I want to stay in bed I haven't studied for my test and all my homework is a mess Back to school again Down by the lockers at lunch time That's where we'll be my friends and I Planning our weekends - hooking up dates Till the lunch bell rings Then we know it's back to school again The things I learn in my school Math, science, and all the rules Seem stupid now - but I'll get good grades Instead of blowing my summer away Back to school again You - must never give up You - must always push on You - must have the will to succeed You - must not fall victim to the dropout disease I've made it through another day Kept out of determination - and that's okay I wonder what tomorrow will bring Will I cut school or bring my homework in No one believes in me I have faith in myself now I know I can do it No problem
