Like Seventh Grade
It feels like seventh grade
like losing all I thought I knew
daily doses of disillusionment
for all but the blissful few
I used to know my way around
but now I�m at the wrong classroom
And somebody�s handing me stacks of Steinbeck
when I want more Judy Blume
It feels like seventh grade
the end of the happy ending
the battle�s waging on
and no one hears I am surrendering
Wistful sighs from passersby
telling me how good I�ve got it
Taking my turn at glory days
You can have it if you want it
It feels like seventh grade
no one believes this is my best
I�ve worked so hard to get here
and now I can�t pass the test
Say, say, oh playmate
I�ve grown too old to play
It�s time to be a good girl
and work my life away
