At School

It was at school that I learned
About plants and animals
I divided, multiplied
With three decimal places

Today I know what rocks are
That form in volcanoes
I did dictations, read poems
Punctuated the sentences

And of all these things
That I learned at school
There was not a single note
To prepare me for you

If there's anything in this life
That requires some knowledge
It's the science of understanding
How a woman thinks

I learned to cut
Made hundreds of postcards
I know the solids and shapes
Bisectors, diagonals

I memorized the dynasties
And the name of each king
I still remember the capitals
Of the countries I pointed out

And of all these things
That I learned at school
There was not a single note
To prepare me for you

If there's anything in this life
That requires some knowledge
It's the science of understanding
How a woman thinks

With a backpack strapped to my back
With ten kilos, maybe more
So many times I went to school
To learn trivial things

If there's anything in this life
That requires some knowledge
It's the science of understanding
How a woman thinks

I learned so much
I learned so much
Nothing about you
Nothing about you

I learned so much
(If there's anything in this life)
I learned so much
(That requires some knowledge)
Nothing about you
(It's the science of understanding)
Nothing about you
(How a woman thinks)

I learned so much
I learned so much
Nothing about you
Nothing about you
