Lyrics The Hollies

The Hollies

Schoolgirl

She was a schoolgirl with seven GCE's

and one ambition was to collect degrees

But in the library researching English litt,

she met a student who took her mind of it

She was attracted by his smiling eyes

he said he loves her but he was telling lies

He talked of subjects of which he never heard

but when she learned them he quickly disappeared

All is new to love you

All is new to know in a way of love

In a way of love

Her heart was broken and she won no degrees

She's now redundant a victim of the sleaze

This is the lesson for which one has to pay

It is in no textbook and nobody no play
