The Police - Don't Stand So Close To Me

Intro 1

Verse 1

Young teacher, the subject

Of schoolgirl fantasy

She wants him so badly

Knows what she wants to be

Verse 2

Inside him, there's longing

This girl's an open page

Book marking, she's so close now

This girl is half his age

Chorus 1

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Verse 3

Her friends are so jealous

You know how bad girls get

Sometimes it's not so easy

To be the teacher's pet

Verse 4

Temptation, frustration

So bad it makes him cry

Wet bus stop, she's waiting

His car is warm and dry

Chorus 2

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Verse 5

Loose talk in the classroom

To hurt they try and try

Strong words in the staff room

The accusations fly

Verse 6

It's no use, he sees her

He starts to shake and cough

Just like the old man in

That book by Nabokov

Chorus 3

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Interlude 1

Outro 1

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me
