I've had enough of danger and people in 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
Cause teacher oh, 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 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
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try
