You keep on telling me these pretty little lies
Well, I’m just a man and want you instead of the drugs that get me high
You keep on telling me these pretty little lies
Well, I, I’m just a man and want you instead of the drugs that get me high

You’re all around me like a freight elevator
You put things in me and say, 'I’ll see you later'
Every time I raise the courage up to talk
My teacher says go to the board with a piece of chalk
I’ll never talk out of turn again in class

Will be alright if I see you tonight
But I feel like a bird in a cage
For you to notice me, well I’d take out a knife
Suicide right on the stage

I’m like a fish on a hook
Water splash into the brook
Well, teacher says she’s twice my age
Hey, teacher could you ease my pain?

I can only watch you so long
I can only watch you so long, so long

You keep on telling me these pretty little lies
Well, I’m just a man and want you instead of the drugs that get me high
You keep on telling me these pretty little lies
Well, I, I’m just a man and want you instead of the drugs that get me high
I’ll never talk out of turn again in class

Will be alright if I see you tonight
Well, I feel like a bird in a cage
For you to notice me, well I’d take out a knife
Suicide right on the stage

I’m like a fish on a hook
Water splash into the brook
Well, teacher says she’s twice my age
Hey, teacher could you ease my pain?

I can only watch you so long
I can only watch you so long, so long
I can only watch you so long
I can only watch you so long, so long

Who’s your teacher’s pet?
