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 so
Close to me
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 waitin'
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand so
Close to me
Don't stand so (Don't stand so)
Close to me (Don't stand so close to me)


Don't stand so
Close to me
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 Nabokov

Don't stand so
Close to me
Don't stand so
Close to me
Don't stand so
Close to me
Don't stand so
Close to me
