Don’t Stand So Close To Me ’86 Lyrics By The Police

    young teacher the subject
    of schoolgirl fantasy
    she wants him so badly
    knows what she wants to be
    insideherthere’s longing
    this girl’san open page
    book marking she’s soclose now
    this girl is half his age

    don’t stand so
    close to me
    don’t stand so
    close to me

    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

    don’t stand so
    close to me
    don’t stand so
    close to me

    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

    repeats
    don’t stand so
    close to me
    don’t stand so
    close to me
