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 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

Don´t stand, don´t stand so
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 and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabakov

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
