Don't bother going to class, 
'cos nobody cares if you cut. 
And it's not smart to experiment, 
With being gay on your nuts. 

If you ask her out and she says maybe, 
What she really means is no way. 
And if you try jerking off behind the backstop, 
The team will be playing that day. (Oh god) 

These are the things, 
I wish I knew, 
There are the things I wish I knew, 
In high school 
Yeah these are the things, 
I wish I knew in high school. 

Don't call the head jock a fag, 
Even if it's true. 
And don't hold out for that one special girl, 
'cos she'll never have sex with you. (No way) 

These are the things, 
I wish I knew, 
These are the things I wish I knew, 
In high school. 
Yeah these are the things, 
I wish I knew in high school. 

Don't let them see you crying, 
No matter how it hurts. 
And nobody ever got laid, 
'coz they were wearing a rush t-shirt 

These are the things, 
I wish I knew, 
There are the things I wish I knew, 
In high school. 
Yeah these are the things, 
I wish I knew in high school.
