single, 1966
Written by Jimmy Clark
A terrific Motown song with a strong R&B rhythm section and compelling lead vocals. But was this song commissioned by Big School or something? The lyrics are direct and literal; it's not a metaphor for anything or an anecdote. "Cause when you learn more / You're bound to earn more / When you stay in school." It reads like the text of a PSA. "You'll be so thankful, so very thankful / That you decided to stay and graduate." Thanks, mom!
