Lyrics
Teacher, do it again
It’s a long and lonely road we have to end
Oh, sweetness, I like your style
But we have to walk along the country mile
And all the times we’d break up
The world would come to an end
I see the simple freedom in your eyes
But I won’t be there when you’re cryin’ and lonely tonight
Sweetness, take off your clothes
And let me see the things in you that no one knows
I want to do it again
‘Cause I lost the only girl that was my friend
And all the times we’d break up
The world would come to an end
I see the simple freedom in your eyes
But I won’t be there when you’re cryin’ and lonely tonight
