I could read novels 'cause I'd follow the mystery
When it came to the Calculus, the problems were this to me
But when you said goodbye, not followed by a kiss to me
I just knew I would flunk, or drop out of this History, yeah

Don’t know why you did this to me
Girl shouldn’t you be kissin’ me
Don’t know why you did this to me
Girl shouldn’t you be kissin’ me

I must've been confused
Looking for love inside of you
Searched for freedom from my despair
Runnin' my fingers through your hair
Walked down the street holding your hands
I thought that I would be your man
Little did I know you would leave
Quickly became your History

My favorite subject was always Math
You and I equaled one, each of us a half
Science and English, I would get by
Anatomy captured me, you were so damn fine
Then I took a class, in Social Studies
It was hard to pass, so boring to study
Now I'm in your past, can't you see
That's why I never, never liked History

Is there a treaty I can sign
Because you treat me so unkind
In Economics, I was smart
But I couldn't find how to buy your heart
I was yours, but you weren't mine
Should've put in more study time
Then I wouldn't have got a D
In my class of History, yeah

My favorite subject was always Math
You and I equaled one, each of us a half
Science and English, I would get by
Anatomy captured me, you were so damn fine
Then I took a class, in Social Studies
It was hard to pass, so boring to study
Now I'm in your past, can't you see
That's why I never, never liked History

Should've enrolled in Politics
Then I'd been ready for all of your tricks
I didn't care about the wars, no
Look, all I wanted was to be yours
Those peace talks, they were a waste
'Cause you walked out the other day
Now this class I must repeat
Look, I gotta pass this History, yeah

My favorite subject was always Math
You and I equaled one, each of us a half
Science and English, I would get by
Anatomy captured me, you were so damn fine
Then I took a class in Social Studies
It was hard to pass, so boring to study
Now I'm in your past, can't you see
Can't you see, can't you see, hey

Why can't I be your present
Instead of your past
Now all I have are memories
Why didn't it last
What happened to our Chemistry
Did we run out of gas
Should've taken Psychology
Maybe I'd understand
Maybe I'd understand
Maybe I'd understand, well

See, if I would've taken Psychology
Maybe I'd understand where you're coming from
And you know, maybe, where you're goin'

My favorite subject was always Math
You and I equaled one, each of us a half
Science and English, I would get by
Anatomy captured me, you were so damn fine, well
It's not too late to change history, history, history
No, no, no
It's not too late to change your mind
