Don't Stand So Close to Me - The Police

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

CHORUS:
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

CHORUS

Loose talk in, the classroom, to hurt they try and try
Strong words in, the staffroom, 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 Nabakov

CHORUS
