Lyrics

Mr. Adams always tells me the answers
Mr. Adams never looks me in the eyes
Don't suppose he knows I notice every time
Why don't you look me in the eyes?
Mr. Adams always walks me to the bus stop
Mr. Adams never thinks of reason or rhyme
Oh, but he just won't go 'til he sees I'm inside
Why Mr. Adams?
Why Mr. Adams?
Why?
Saturday morning skipping on Clairmont Street
Pretty pink pavement kisses my dainty feet
Stop in the driveway of house 120
The sleepy Chevrolet, oh yes, I've seen it plenty
Come a little closer, got secret that you've got to keep
Shhh
I doodle his name in every class
Just seeing his face it helps the time pass
I think I might stay a little past half past two
So he can tell me what to do
Mr. Adams always tells me the answers
Mr. Adams never looks me in the eyes
Don't suppose he knows I notice every time
Why don't you look me in the eyes?
Mr. Adams tells me, "Yes," but then he says "Stop."
Takes the pen right out my hand to carry the nine
Oh, swear his touch alone occupies my whole mind
Why Mr. Adams?
Why Mr. Adams?
Why?
Hi, Mr. Adams, got a question could you answer?
Hi, Mr. Adams, like the auburn in your tie, sir
Hi, Mr. Adams, could I ask you for a coat, brrr
I'm feeling tired but, boy!
You look inspired today
Hi, Mr. Adams, could you tutor me on Sunday
Hi, Mr. Adams, caught cha sleeping at the school play
Hi, Mr. Adams, are you going to the fundraiser?
Because I think that you should
Oh, I really think that you should
My god, I think that you should
Spray my perfume just before the test
He asks me how prepared I am, "Sir, I tried my best!"
And for the first time he smiles and I'm breathless
Oh, my heart is wild, I'm feeling quite beguiled today!
I'd like to stay forever like this
If he gets any closer fear I might kiss him
Whispers, "Good luck" and oh, I feel bliss
My god, Mr. Adams, I can't do this anymore!

Why Mr. Adams?
I got to say goodbye
