I've had enough of danger People on the streets I'm looking out for angels Just trying to find some peace 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 want to learn to hold you Cause you think that you're mine Because there 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 feel the danger Now I feel the heat That look in your eyes Tell me, no So you think that you love me No, that you need me I've heard 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 So I don't want to learn to hold you Cause you think that you're mine Because there ain't no joy For an uptown boy Whose teacher has told him goodbye Goodbye, goodbye 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 thing I have Is my pride Oh, so I don't want to learn to hold you Cause you 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 thrown inside Maybe just one more try
