Please Don't Go to University
Oh my darling please don't go to university
The people that you'll meet there are just fools
They don't know how to be in our reality
They think they're smart but they're not cool
Maybe if you wanted to learn to be a doctor
Or study hard to be an engineer
Don't waste your time on pointless conversations
Or getting into debt and drinking beer
The boys you'll meet won't treat you right dear
They won't care about you the way I do
They'll lead you on and treat you as nothing
They'll leave you hurt and feeling like a fool
Oh I know I might come across as a little bit jealous
And you're right that it's your life for you to live
But maybe there's another way for the two of us
That doesn't mean we never have to live
And I get why you want to find a way out of here
I know that it's nothing to do with me
This place we live is gonna be the death of us
And we've all got to find a way to be free
But darling if you go to University
I think it will be a waste of me and you
It won't be the freedom that you're looking for
It won't be the life you'd want to choose
So darling I am not going to tell you
How to live the life you want to lead
I'll always be there to support you
Wherever you want your heart to be
Because I know that I will always love you
College boys will just mess you around
So if you want me to keep on being around you
Let's go and live in some other stupid town
So darling please don't go to university
Well it's not all that it's cracked up to be
The people there like to think that they're clever
But they're not as smart as you and me
The people that you'll meet there are just fools
They don't know how to be in our reality
They think they're smart but they're not cool
Maybe if you wanted to learn to be a doctor
Or study hard to be an engineer
Don't waste your time on pointless conversations
Or getting into debt and drinking beer
The boys you'll meet won't treat you right dear
They won't care about you the way I do
They'll lead you on and treat you as nothing
They'll leave you hurt and feeling like a fool
Oh I know I might come across as a little bit jealous
And you're right that it's your life for you to live
But maybe there's another way for the two of us
That doesn't mean we never have to live
And I get why you want to find a way out of here
I know that it's nothing to do with me
This place we live is gonna be the death of us
And we've all got to find a way to be free
But darling if you go to University
I think it will be a waste of me and you
It won't be the freedom that you're looking for
It won't be the life you'd want to choose
So darling I am not going to tell you
How to live the life you want to lead
I'll always be there to support you
Wherever you want your heart to be
Because I know that I will always love you
College boys will just mess you around
So if you want me to keep on being around you
Let's go and live in some other stupid town
So darling please don't go to university
Well it's not all that it's cracked up to be
The people there like to think that they're clever
But they're not as smart as you and me
