Just because I don't pay attention,
        Doesn't mean I don't knowwhat you're talking about,
        Doesn't mean I am a bad student.
        But if youask me to tell you what you said, I will.

Just because I don't payattention,
        Doesn't mean I don't know what to do,
        Doesn't give you theright to write me up,
        Doesn't mean that I don't understand you.

Justbecause I don't pay attention,
        Doesn't mean you should leave me alone,
        Doesn't mean for you to dislike me.

Just because I don't pay attention -doesn't mean I don't like you.
