[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Don't stand so
Close to me
Don't stand so
Close to me

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Don't stand so
Close to me
Don't stand so
Close to me

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus - Repeats]
Don't stand so
Close to me
Don't stand so
Close to me

The Police

The Police were an English rock band formed in London in 1977. For the majority of their history, the band consisted of Sting (lead vocals, bass), Andy Summers (guitar) and Stewart Copeland (drums). The Police became globally popular in the late 1970s and are generally regarded as one of the first new wave groups to achieve mainstream success, playing a style of rock that was influenced by punk, reggae, and jazz.
