Apologies to Rizzo

There are worse things I could do,
Than go to grad school for a year or two.
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm snotty,
And selfish , and I suppose it could be true,
But there are worse things I could do.
I could flirt with the school principal,
Smile at him and bat my eyes.
Watch tv every night,
Make believe that I just might,
Watch an episode of American Idol without a fight.
That's a thing I'd never do.
I could stay home every night,
Wait around for Mr. Right.
Drink myself silly I just might,
Throw my life away, on a life with a man and
On a dream that won't come true, I chose a different way.
Instead of fighting for that doctoral degree.
I could hurt someone like me,
Out of spite or jealousy.
I dont steal and I dont lie,
But I can feel and I can cry.
A fact I'll bet you never knew.
But to cry in front of you,
That's the worse thing I could do.
