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
If you don´t then just let me go

´Cos teacher
There are things that I don´t want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don´t want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think you´re mine
‘Cause it ain´t no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet I felt no danger
I didn´t feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
(I see) That look in your eyes
It´s telling me no
So if you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song,
I know it´s wrong
Just let me go

And teacher
There are things
I don´t want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don´t want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you´re mine
Because it ain´t no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him good-bye, good-bye

So when you say that you need me
You´ll never leave me
I know you´re wrong, you´re not that strong
Just let me go

Teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
I don´t want to learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you´re mine
Because there ain´t no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn´t willing to try
I´m so cold inside
Maybe just one more try
