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 good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
When you were just a stranger
And I just 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
So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong
Let me go
And teacher
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try
I'm so cold inside
Maybe just one more try.
