I've had enough of danger, and people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels, 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
And I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you
And think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy, no 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
Tells me no
So you think that you love me know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know your'e wrong, just let me go
'Cause teacher, there are things
That I don't want to learn
'Cause, the last one I had made me cry
So I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you
And think that you're mine
Because there 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, just let me go
'Cause teacher, there are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
And I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you
And think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy for an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try
It's so cold inside
Maybe just one more try
