| Just when I thought I finally learned my lesson well
|
| There was more to this than meets the eye
|
| And for all the things you taught me, only time will tell
|
| If I’ll be able to survive
|
| Oh yeah
|
| Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
|
| Can you tell me all I need to know?
|
| Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
|
| Or will I fall when you let me go? |
| Oh no Am I ready for the real world, will I pass the test?
|
| You know it’s a jungle out there
|
| Ain’t nothin' gonna stop me, I won’t be second best
|
| But the joke’s on those who believe the system’s fair, oh yeah
|
| Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
|
| Can you tell me if I’m right or wrong?
|
| Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
|
| I wanna know what’s goin' on, oh yeah
|
| So the years go on and on, but nothing’s lost or won
|
| And what you learned is soon forgotten
|
| They take the best years of your life
|
| Try to tell you wrong from right
|
| But you walk away with nothing
|
| Oh oh Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
|
| Can you tell me all I need to know?
|
| Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
|
| Or will I fall when you let me go?
|
| Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
|
| Can you tell me if I’m right or wrong?
|
| Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
|
| I wanna know what’s goin' on, oh Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
|
| Teacher, teacher, can you reach me?
|
| Teacher, teacher, can you teach me?
|
| Teacher, teacher, ooh yeah
|
| Teacher, teacher
|
| Teacher, teacher |
