lyrics

Back of the class, daydreaming drooling on my desk
Filling bubbles to spell your name
Yeah spell your name across my test
I kinda hoped you'd notice

My notebook was full with your first name and my last
I wrote "I love her" in a page long paragraph
On every page to show this

Needed help spelling four letter words
Couldn't find a single bible verse
Love to see you get mad and that's why I curse every day during class
Cause I, oh Agnes

Oh oh, Sister Agnes
I'll take you by the hand
Oh oh, Sister Agnes
I'll take you to the holy land
Oh oh, Sister Agnes
I love you Sister Agnes

And didn't you wonder how again and again and again
I'd sharpen my pencil at your desk but all my work was done in pen
I kinda hoped you'd notice
And cafeteria and recess I was watching
And I saw you keep your eye on which girls I was touching
You didn't think I'd know this

Spreading rumors that I think are true
Involving me, involving you
Well you are the only woman that I want to do
But I, oh Agnes

Oh oh, Sister Agnes
I'll take you by the hand
Oh oh, Sister Agnes
I'll take you to the holy land
Oh oh, Sister Agnes
I love you Sister Agnes
Oh oh, Sister Agnes
You know I think that it's worth the risk
Oh oh, Sister Agnes
And so did father Chris
Oh oh, Sister Agnes
I love you Sister Agnes
