Time for a change, sick of playing the fool
Enrol me, I’ll attend your school
I’m moved
To learn something new
But I have a confession
I’m finding a new obsession
And that possession
Will be you
Will you be my teacher, can I take your course?
Though my grades won’t be perfect, you’ll be my sole resource
I’ll study you completely, make sure I hit your mark
I’ll be your brightest student, you oxygen, me the spark
I’ll be your jock, I’ll be your nerd
Read and obey your every word
Place first not third
For me you’ll cheer
I’m no bully but I’ll fight
For you, always do you right
Through the night
I’ll keep you near
Will you be my teacher, can I take your course?
Though my grades won’t be perfect, you’ll be my sole resource
I’ll study you completely, make sure I hit your mark
I’ll be your brightest student, on your homework let’s embark,
Oh, Oh, Oh
Teach me with your hands
Breach me from above
Beseech me with your hunger
Reach me with your love
My dependence is devotion
My attendance will be perfect
No repentance for my lusting
Just resplendence when I work it
Will you be my teacher, can I take your course?
Though my grades won’t be perfect, you’ll be my soul resource
I’ll study you completely, make sure I hit your mark
I’ll be your brightest student, on your homework let’s embark
