Don’t Stand So Close to Me ’86

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Don't stand so
Close to me
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 so
Close to me
Don't stand so (Don't stand so)
Close to me (Don't stand so close to me)

[Verse 3]
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 starts to cough
Just like the old man in that famous book by Nabokov

[Chorus - Repeats]
Don't stand so
Close to me
Don't stand so
Close to me
