I've had enough of danger And people on the streets I'm looking out
for angels Just 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...
'Cos 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
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 Telling me no So you think that you love me Know that you need
me I wrote the song, I know it's wrong Just let me go...
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
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
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 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
