Lyrics

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

Bookmarking, she's so close now

This girl is half his age

Don't stand so

Close to me

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 teacher's pet

Temptation, frustration

So bad it makes him cry

Wet bus stop, she's waiting

His car is warm and dry

(Please don't stand) don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

(Please don't stand) don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

(Please don't stand) don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

(Please don't stand) don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me
