Don't Stand So Close to Me

Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her theres longing
This girls an open page
Book marking, shes so close now
This girl is half his age

Dont stand, dont stand
Dont stand so close to me
Dont stand, dont stand
Dont stand so close to me


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

Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me
Dont stand , dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me


Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
Its no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and he starts to cough
Just like the old man in
That famous book by Nabokov
He says

Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me
Dont stand, dont stand so
Dont stand so close to me


Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Dont stand so close to me

Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Dont stand so close to me

Dont stand so
Dont stand so
Close to me, close to me, close to me, close to me

Dont stand
Don't stand
Dont stand so close to me
