Of schoolgirl fantasy 
 She wants him so badly 
 Knows what she wants to be 
 Inside her there's longing 
 This girl's an open page 
 Book marking - she's so close now 
 This girl is half his age 
  
 Don't stand, don't stand so 
 Don't stand so close to me 
 Don't stand, don't stand so 
 Don't stand so close to me 
  
 Her friends are so jealous 
 You know how bad girls get 
 Sometimes it's not so easy 
 To be the teacher's pet 
 Temptation, frustration 
 So bad it makes him cry 
 Wet bus stop, she's waiting 
 His car is warm and dry 
  
 Don't stand, don't stand so 
 Don't stand so close to me 
 Don't stand, don't stand so 
 Don't stand so close to me 
  
 Loose talk in the classroom 
 To hurt they try and try 
 Strong words in the staffroom 
 The accusations fly 
 It's no use, he sees her 
 He starts to shake and cough 
 Just like the old man in 
 That book by Nabakov 
  
 Don't stand, don't stand so 
 Don't stand so close to me 
 Don't stand, don't stand so 
 Don't stand so close to me 
  
 Don't stand, don't stand so 
 Don't stand so close to me
