gonna buy new shoes that squeak
gonna get a trapper that keeps
gonna make old friends see me in a new light

gonna make old enemies thing about it twice
gonna get on the bus, gonna march right in


ooh-ooh, back to school (2x)
better not be late
some lessons just can't wait

anymore

gonna smile on picture day

gonna sign up for debate
gonna take a seat right in the front row
gonna raise my hand, let 'em see what i know

gonna quit the choir for the talent show

chorus


a wallflower doesn't bloom (2x)
it just gets tired of hanging back

it just gets tired of hanging back
it finally gets angry at hanging back
at the dance


gonna make my move with moves
gonna work until they're smooth

gonna star in my own drama-comedy
gonna be the john hughes version of me
gonna make you remember me






chorus
