One More Try

Baby, I had enough of danger

And people on the street

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, there are things

That I don’t want to learn

And the last one I had

Made me cry

So I don’t wanna learn to

Hold you, touch you

(touch you)

Think that you’re mine

(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 fear 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, oh

So I don’t wanna 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, goodbye, goodbye

Who is that teacher

I’m the student

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Boy I’m just gonna say

You are my teacher

You are my leader

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 that I had

Is my pride

Oh, so I don’t wanna learn to

Hold you, touch you

(touch you)

Think that you’re mine

Because it 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
