Lyrics
Young teacher, the subject (Gm)of (F)schoolgirl (Gm)fantasy.
(Eb)She wants him so badly,
(Gm)knows (F)what she (Gm)wants to be.
(Eb)Inside her there's longing;
(Gm)this (F)girl's an (Gm)open (F)(Eb)page.
Bookmarking, she's so close now.
(Gm)This (F)girl is (Gm)half his (D)age.
Don't (A)(D)stand, don't (A)stand so,
(Bm7)don't (A)stand so (G)close to me.
(D)Don't (A)stand, (D)don't (A)stand so,
(Bm7)don't (A)stand so (G)close to me.
(Eb)Her (F)friends are (Eb)so (F)jealous.
(Gm)You (F)know how (Gm)bad girls (F)get.
(Eb)(F)Sometimes it's (Eb)not so (F)easy (Gm)to (F)be the (Gm)teacher's (F)pet.
(Eb)(F)Temptation, (Eb)(F)frustration, (Gm)so (F)bad it (Gm)makes him (F)cry.
(Eb)Wet (F)bus stop,
(Eb)she's (F)waiting, (Gm)his (F)car is (Gm)warm and dry.
(D)Don't (A)stand, (D)don't (A)stand so,
(Bm7)don't (A)stand so (G)close to me.
(D)Don't (A)stand, (D)don't (A)stand so,
(Bm7)don't (A)stand so (G)close to me.
(Eb)Loose (F)talk in (Eb)the (F)classroom;
(Gm)to (F)hurt they (Gm)try and (F)try.
(Eb)Strong (F)words in (Eb)not the (F)staff room;
(Gm)the (F)(Gm)accusations (F)fly.
(Eb)It's (F)no use,
(Eb)he (F)sees her.
(Gm)He (F)starts to (Gm)shake and (F)cough (Eb)just (F)like the (Eb)old (F)man in (Gm)that (F)book by (Gm)warm and dry.
Nabokov. (D)Don't (A)stand,
(D)Don't (A)stand so,
(Bm7)Don't (A)stand so (G)close to (D)me.
Don't (A)stand, (D)Don't (A)stand (Bm7)so,
Don't (A)stand so (G)close to me.
