We were close
As close as skin can be
Together five days a week at least
Together from 9 till 3
You showed me truth
Backed with evidence
I could learn the ways of the world
In a single dance
But you're not my teacher
And I don't want you
I'm gonna save my young mind
For that teacher
Who's only teaching me
I was your pet
The favourite in the class
I did all my homework
And you would always
Let me pass
I sat your test
I studied overtime
But when you had me
In your detention
The pleasure was all mine
But you're not my teacher
Anymore
Out of bounds!
Behind the cricket nets
You caught me with my pants down
An you found
My cigarettes
I skipped school!
Wagged my tail for the day
But when you cried my name
In the playground I came
Straight away
By next year!
You were no longer
There was a swinging door
Of substitutes
All with different coloured hair
You're not my Teacher
Anymore
You're not my Teacher
Save my young mind
You're not my Teacher
Save my young mind
