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...

chorus

'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 taht you're mine
because it ain't no joy

for an uptown boy
whose teacher has told him goodbye,
boodbye, 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

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...


chorus

so when you say that you need me

that you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're 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

hold you, touch 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 cold

Inside
maybe just one more try
