I've had enough of danger
People on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
To 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 there 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 feel the danger
But 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
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Instrumental
So when you say
That you need me
You'll never leave me
I know you're wrong
You're not that strong
Just let me go
And teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
But the one thing I have
Is my pride
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just is unwilling
To try
So cold inside
Maybe just one more try
