Teacher I Need You

Elton John/Bernie Taupin

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
