Just when I thought I'd 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 Teacher, teacher, can you teach me? Can you tell me all I need to know? Teacher, teacher, can you reach me? Oh, will I fall and let you 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 nothing gonna stop me I won't be second best But the jokes 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 going on So the years go on and on But nothing's lost or won And what you learn is who you've got They take the best years of your life Try to tell you all the right But you're overwhelmed with nothing Teacher, teacher, can you teach me? Can you tell me all I need to know? Teacher, teacher, can you reach me? Oh, will I fall and let you 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 going on Teacher, teacher, can you teach me? Teacher, teacher, can you reach me? Teacher, teacher, can you teach me? Teacher, teacher Oh yeah Teacher, teacher Teacher, teacher
