Teacher's Pet
Melanie Martinez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought, "He pretty cute" and she bit her lip back to him
Chewing on her nails and her pens while she's dreaming of him
And he's fucking in sin (you know he is)
She said, "It's for all the right reasons
Baby, don't care 'bout grades, just call me your lady
If I pass this quiz, will you give me your babies?
Don't call me crazy
You love me, but you won't come save me
You got a wife and kids, you see them daily
Don't know why you even need me"
Teacher's pet
If I'm so special, why am I secret?
Yeah, why the fuck is that?
Do you regret
The things we shared that I'll never forget?
Well, do you? Tell me that
I know I'm young, but my mind is well beyond my years
I knew this wouldn't last, but fuck you, don't you leave me here
Teacher's pet
If I'm so special, why am I secret?
She's feeling like a spider in a cage
You liar, you were her desire
Now she wants to light you on fire
But fuck it, she'll still give you a call
And a lighter when you wanna get hot
And mess around 'til you get numb
She said "It's for all the right reasons
Baby, don't care 'bout grades, just call me your lady
If I pass this quiz, will you give me your babies?
Don't call me crazy
You love me, but you won't come save me
You got a wife and kids, you see them daily
Don't know why you even need me"
Teacher's pet
If I'm so special, why am I secret?
Yeah, why the fuck is that?
Do you regret
The things we shared that I'll never forget?
Well, do you? Tell me that
I know I'm young, but my mind is well beyond my years
I knew this wouldn't last, but fuck you, don't you leave me here
Teacher's pet
If I'm so special, why am I secret?
Gimme back my money
Didn't learn a damn thing, honey, from you
Except how to lie and cheat while inside the sheets
Stop calling me your bunny
I won't hop and you don't own me
Do you?
I bet you think you do, well, you don't
Teacher's pet
If I'm so special, why am I secret? (Why am I? Why am I?)
Yeah, why the fuck is that?
Do you regret
The things we shared that I'll never forget?
Well, do you? Tell me that
I know I'm young, but my mind is well beyond my years
I knew this wouldn't last, but fuck you, don't you leave me here

The song "Teacher's Pet" by Melanie Martinez is a track that deals with the theme of a student who develops an unhealthy obsession with her teacher. The lyrics describe a student who becomes smitten with her teacher and is even willing to give up her grades and reputation just to be with him. She feels special because of the attention he gives her but is also aware of the fact that their relationship needs to remain a secret. The chorus of the song repeats the question, "If I'm so special, why am I secret?", expressing the frustration and confusion the student feels about their relationship.
The lyrics of the song seem to criticize the power imbalance in these types of relationships and expose the damaging effects they can have on students. The student in the song seems to be caught in a cycle of abuse, where she feels like she is not being treated fairly but is still willing to engage in the relationship. Overall, the song can be seen as a cautionary tale about the dangers of getting too close to those in positions of authority.

He was a 58-year-old married PE teacher at my school, teaching my boyfriend, who was in my class. I was 18. I had to make up my gym hours with my friend at an outdoor pool. He offered to take us out for a drink at the outdoor pool where there was a restaurant near by, and we said yes.
We had a long conversation, and my friend had to leave. He offered to drive me home. It was in his car where it happened.
He said so many things to me. "You are special.
You caught my eye right away in the hallway. You are the prettiest girl in the school. You are very mature for your age. You have really captivated me.
When I saw you, I felt it. I must say, l've fallen a bit in love with you."
I was paralyzed and, under the influence of alcohol, I laughed away my confusion and fear with each comment he made. He touched me, stroked me, and kissed me on the mouth. I saw him as a figure of trust, like a father figure. He exploited exactly that. He sent me messages at night asking when we would see each other next, and I always refused. It happened once more, and then came summer break. For three months, I didn't tell anyone and suffered silently.
I was so disgusted. It was the worst time of my life. It's been almost a year now, and he is no longer a teacher at our school because I finally spoke up. The police report was dismissed because he never made a statement.
If something like this has happened to you, please speak out. People will understand and not judge you! That was really hard for me to understand. But please, gather the courage you need and confide in someone you trust.
