Baby, I've had enough of danger
And people on the street
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me, say you love me
But if you don't, just let me go
'Cause teacher,
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn
To hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy,
Whose teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't fear the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me,
Know that you need me
I wrote this song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go
And teacher,
There are things that I don't want to learn,
Oh, the last one I had
Made me cry, oh
So I don't want to learn
To hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy,
Whose teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Who is that teacher?
I'm the student
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Boy, I'm just gonna say
You are my teacher
You are my leader
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong
You're not that strong
Let me go
And teacher,
There are things that I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh, so I don't want to learn
To hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
Just an uptown boy,
Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try…
