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 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)
