"Don't Stand So Close To Me" Lyrics

Young teacher the subject of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be
Inside him there's longing, this girl's an open page
Book marking, she's so close now, this girl is half his age

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 teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration, so bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting, his car is warm and dry

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

Loose talk in the classroom to hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staff room, 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 Nabokov

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

Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
