One More Try

[Verse 1]

I've had enough of danger

And people on the streets

I'm lookin' out for angels

Just tryin' 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

[Chorus]

'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

[Verse 2]

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

Tellin' me "No"

So you think that you love me and know that you need me

I wrote the song, I know it's wrong, just let me go

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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 learn 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

[Outro]

I'm so cold inside

Maybe just one more try
