Lyrics

Did you say, "I've got a lot to learn?" Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn. Since this is the perfect spot to learn Teach me tonight. Starting with, the "A, B, C of it Right down to the "X, Y, Z" of it Help me solve the mystery of it Teach me tonight. The sky's a blackboard High above you, If a shooting star goes by I'll use that star to write, "I love you" A thousand times across the sky One thing isn't very clear, my love Should the teacher stand so near my love Graduation's almost here my love Teach me tonight If a shooting star goes by I'll use that star to write, "I love you" A thousand times across the sky One thing isn't very clear, my love Should the teacher stand so near my love Graduation's almost here my love Teach me tonight. I've lost all fear my love, Teach me tonight.
