Baby, baby
I've had enough of danger
And people on the street
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me, say you love me
But if you don't, just let me go
'Cause teacher (teacher)
There are things
That I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made my cry (made me cry)
So I don't wanna learn to
Hold you, touch you (touch you)
Think that you're mine (think that you're mine)
Because it ain't no joy
For an up-town boy
Who's teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no, oh
So you think that you love me, NO
And that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go
And teacher,
There are things
That I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made my cry (made me cry)
Oh so I don't wanna learn to
Hold you, touch you
(Touch you)
Think that you're mine (think that you're mine)
Because it ain't no joy (no joy)
For a uptown boy
Who's teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Goodbye
And who is that teacher? (who is that teacher?)
I'm the student (I'm the student)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Boy I'm just gonna say
You are my teacher
You are my leader
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong
You're not that strong
Let me go
And teacher,
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have
Is my pride
Oh, so I don't wanna learn to
Hold you, touch you (touch you)
Think that you're mine
'Cause it ain't no joy
Just an up-town boy,
Who's just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just want one more try
