Sting Lyrics

Young teacher, the subject,
Of schoolgirl fantasy.
She wants him, so badly,
Knows what she wants to be.
Inside her, there's longing,
This girls 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 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.

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.
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...

It's weird how music takes such an effect on our daily lives. You can associate a certain song with a certain time. These lyrics make a lot of sense to me. It's often how I feel about someone; being near them makes me want to shudder with desire. The line "temptation, frustration" really desribes it all. Even though this song is about a teacher and a student, the thoughts and feelings are the same. Sting is a genius.
