Give it up now

Dunce in detention

My teacher told me I'm a class clown from some circus
Since I'm pulling pranks on classmates
And cheating in tests would be a lousy crisis
I came 9 minutes late
Oh baby, am I a fool 'cause I don't know
How to be right
And in case I'm flunked, well I
I'd see the light, oh no

Dunce in detention
Thinkin' 'bout things that I'd just shouldn't know
Oh baby, I'm dunce in detention
Am I fool some of my friends thought so
I'm just a sore loser
Baby, what have I done wrong?
I'm just a sore loser
Well, I came and gone

If I was having bad grades that I'm seeing
My mother's getting so upset
I thought I was right, but I don't believe it
Seeing poor test scorings that I get
I found myself saying bad words
They had thought I'm anyone's fiend
Hurtin' others' emotions unwisely
I just causing a scene
From time to time at first I hardly know by heart
And even though I flipped my mind well, the teacher notified I'm not smart

Dunce in detention
Thinkin' 'bout things that I'd just shouldn't know
Oh baby, I'm dunce in detention
Am I fool some of my friends thought so
I'm just a sore loser
Baby, what have I done wrong?
I'm just a sore loser
Well, I came and gone
Oh no, you know

Is it true? I'm a fool
Some people know
I can't deny
The bullies insulted me
Can't comply
Give it up
