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 is 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
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 its not so easy
To be the teachers 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
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 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 Nabakov
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
