Intro

  

Verse 1

Young teacher, the subject, of school girl 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

Chorus

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  

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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  

Verse 3

Loose talk in, the class room, to hurt they try and try
Strong words, in the staff room, 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

Chorus

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
      

Solo

Eb Gm x4

Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me (repeat/fade)
