.Don't Stand So Close To Me -- The Police

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
Don't stand, don't stand so  Don't stand so close to me

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
Don't stand, don't stand so  Don't stand so close to me

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 cough
Just like the old man in That book by Nabokov
Don't stand, don't stand so  Don't stand so close to me


 It concerns a schoolgirl's crush on her young teacher and the teacher's nervousness about the situation. The Police won the 1982 "Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" for this song.       (wikipedia)
