Teacher, Teacher (1985 Version)

[Verse 1]

Teacher, teacher

I'm really not lovin' you

But you're the teacher

I try to do what you want me to

I know you get lonely

But you gotta know, it wasn't love

Let me tell you, honey

I'm just a young girl

Don't think I know it enough

[Chorus]

Teacher, teacher

I don't wanna get an A

Teacher, teacher

There's gotta be a better way

[Verse 2]

I'm sick and tired of makin' plans without makin' up my mind

(Make up your mind...)

Teacher, teacher, can't you see I just need a little time?

I know you've been cryin'

'Cause you're spendin' night alone

Well, you can cry me a river

'Cause, boy, I don't deliver

We'll have to do it on the phone

[Chorus]

Teacher, teacher

I don't wanna get an A

Teacher, teacher

There's gotta be a better way

[Break]

(Woohoo, yeah! Oooh-oh-ooh...)

[Verse 3]

Teacher, teacher

I'm not really tryin' to get you down

But why should you get used to somebody

Who won't be around?

I know you get discouraged

'Cause you wanna give it all the time

Honey, I can't let you use my body

The same way you use my mind!

[Chorus]

Teacher, teacher

I don't wanna get an A

Teacher, teacher

There's gotta be a better way

(No, I don't wanna...)

Teacher, teacher

I don't wanna get an A

Teacher, teacher

(I know...) There's gotta be a better way

Teacher, teacher

I don't wanna get an A

Teacher, teacher (No, no, no – no, no, no)

There's gotta be a better way

Teacher, teacher

I don't wanna get an A (Ooh ooh ooh)

Teacher, teacher

There's gotta be a better way  (Ooh ooh ooh)

Teacher, teacher

I don't wanna get an A

Teacher, teacher...
