I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
I think it's time
That you 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 it 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
Now, I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me, "no"
So, you think that you love
Know that you need me
I wrote the 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 it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
So, when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong
You're not that strong, let me go
And teacher, there are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have
Is my pride
Oh, so I don't want to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold Inside
Maybe just one more try
