Young teacher
The subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him
So badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her
There's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking
She's so close now
This girl is half his age

CHORUS
*Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me

Her friends are
So jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teachers' pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop
She's waitin'
His car is warm and dry

*repeat

Loose talk in
The classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use
He sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the
Old man in that
Book by Nabakov

*repeat
