[Verse 1]
I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm lookin' out for angels
Just tryna find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know, oh
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't, just let me go

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
All the last one I had
Made me cry

[Chorus]
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you, ooh
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who's teacher has told him, "Goodbye, goodbye"
[Verse 2]
When you were just a strangеr
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the hеat
And I look in your eyes
It's tellin' me, "No"
So when you think that you loved me
You know that you need me
I wrote this song
I know it's wrong
Just let me go

[Pre-Chorus]
And teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
All the last one I had
Made me cry

[Chorus]
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you, ooh
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who's teacher has told him, "Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye"
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
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, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have
Is my pride

[Chorus]
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you, ooh
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 and sad
Baby, just one more try
