Lyrics
They Looked Better in High School
She looked better in High School, long and lovely hair
Met her in Homeroom, sat in the front row chair
Head over heals for her.
Oh, oh oh oh oh she looked better in High School.
High School. She looked better back then.
She looked better in High School in her Varsity sweater.
Wouldn't go steady. Thought that she could do better.
Now she's repulsive.
Oh, oh oh oh she looked beter in High School. High School.
She looked better back then
Homecoming Queen. Wasn't to be.
Teasing the boys your destiny.
Rolling your eyes fluffing your hair.
What I would give to show you I care.
She looked better in High School. High School She looked better back then.
Better in High school. She looked better back when.
Spoken Bridge
Hi boys and girls. Now I know that when you get that letter that says "Class Reunion" you're gonna think of one thing and one thing only...
The boy or girl that broke your heart back in High School.
Well, here we are after all these years..
Now, it's you thanking God Almighty that your not the one sittin' next to her now.
...And I just get out my guitar and play something like this..
(Guitar solo)
She looked better In High School. High School. She looked better back then. Better in High School. She looked better back when.
He looked better in High School. Made the football team.
Running for touchdowns. He was my High School dream.
Now he runs numbers.
Oh, oh oh oh oh he looked better in High School. High School. He looked better back then.
Better in High school. He looked better back when.
Better in High School. He looked better in High School.
High School. He looked better in High School.
Star quarterback. Was n't to be.
Getting the girls. No STD
Had a cool car. Lived for today.
Now he is working for minimum pay.
He looked better in High School.
High School. He looked better back then.
Better in High School. He looked better back when.
Better in High School. She looked better in High School.
Better in High School. He looked better in High School
Better in High School. They looked better in High School.
Better in High School. We looked better in High School.
