I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now, 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 me
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

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

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 isnt willing to try

I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try
