Lyrics
Young teacher
The subject
Of schoolgirl 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
Don't stand, don't stand
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand
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
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand
Don't stand so close to me
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
He starts to cough
Just like the old man in that famous book by Nabakov
He says
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
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Don't stand so close to me
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Don't stand so close to me
To me-e
(Don't stand) don't stand (don't stand)
Don't stand so close to me (don't stand)
Close to me
Close to me
Close to me
Don't stand
Don't stand
Don't stand
So close to me
