Teacher I Need You - Elton John

I was sitting in the classroom

Trying to look intelligent

In case the teacher looked at me She was long and she was lean

She’s a middle-aged dream

And that lady means the whole world to me It’s a natural achievement

Conquering my homework

With her image pounding in my brain

She’s an inspiration

For my graduation

And she helps to keep the classroom sane

Oh teacher I need you like a little child

You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild

You give me education in the lovesick blues

Help me get straight come out and say

Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, Teacher I need you

I have to write a letter

Tell about my feelings

Just to let her know the scene

Focus my attention

On some further education

In connection with the birdies and the bees

So I’m sitting in the classroom

I’m looking like a zombie

I’m waiting for the bell to ring

I’ve got John Wayne stances

I’ve got Erroll Flynn advances

And it doesn’t mean a doggone thing
