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 

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 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, 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 staffroom 
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 Nabоkov 

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 

Don't stand, don't stand so 
Don't stand so close to me
