There I was in uniform
Looking at the art teacher
I was just a girl then;

Never have I loved since then

He was not that much older than I was

He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
He asked us what our favorite work of art was,
But never could I tell it was him

Oh, I wish I could tell him --
Oh, I wish I could have told him


I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts
I liked the John Singer Sargents
He told me he liked Turner

Never have I turned since then
No, never have I turned to any other man


All this having been said,
I married an executive company head
All this having been done, a Turner - I own one

Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,
Thinking of the art teacher
I was just a girl then;

Never have I loved since then
No, never have I loved any other man
