Young teacher the subject
Of school girl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to beInside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking she's so close now
This girl is half his ageDon'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 meHer friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's petTemptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dryDon'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 meLoose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations flyIt's no use he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by NabokovDon'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 meDon't stand, don't stand so
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand so close to me(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
