Did you say (that) I've got a lot to learn, well don't think I'm trying not to learn
|
Since this is the perfect spot to learn, teach me tonight
|
Starting with the ABC of it, getting right down to the XYZ of it
|
Help me solve the mystery of it, teach me tonight
|
The sky's a blackboard high above you, a nd if a shooting star goes by
|
I'll use that star to write "I love you", a thousand times across the sky
|
One thing isn't very clear my love, teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
|
Graduation's almost here my love, you'd better teach me tonight
|
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two, and I've also met a chick or two
|
But I still can learn a trick or two, hey teach me tonight
|
I who thought I knew the score of it, kind of think I should know much more of it
|
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it, hey teach me tonight
|
The midnight hours come slowly creeping when there's no one there but you
|
There must be more to life than sleeping single in a bed for two
|
What I need most is post graduate, what I feel is hard to articulate
|
If you want me to matriculate, you'd better teach me tonight
|
What do you get for lessons, teach me - come on and teach me - teach me tonight
