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 Nabokov…

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.
