Stand By Me
Sting & Lady Gaga Lyrics

Young teacher, the subject
An attractive young teacher draws the attention of a schoolgirl who has romantic fantasies of him.

Of schoolgirl fantasy
The young teacher is the center of the schoolgirl's desires.

She wants him so badly
The schoolgirl is deeply infatuated with the teacher and desires him intensely.

Knows what she wants to be
The schoolgirl has a clear vision of herself as the teacher's romantic partner.

Inside her there's longing
The schoolgirl is consumed by her feelings of desire for the teacher.

This girl's an open page
The schoolgirl's emotions are straightforward and transparent - she makes no secret of her crush on the teacher.

Book marking - she's so close now
The schoolgirl is on the brink of realizing her fantasy of being with the teacher.

This girl is half his age
The teacher is much older than the schoolgirl, making their potential romance inappropriate.

Her friends are so jealous
The schoolgirl's friends resents her infatuation with the teacher.

You know how bad girls get
The schoolgirl's behavior is becoming wild and rebellious, possibly due to her feelings for the teacher.

Sometimes it's not so easy
Being the teacher's favorite student is not always a simple experience.

To be the teacher's pet
The schoolgirl is trying to become the teacher's favorite student.

Temptation, frustration
The teacher is facing a difficult moral dilemma, caught between the temptation of a romance with the schoolgirl and the frustration of knowing it is wrong.

So bad it makes him cry
The teacher's struggle with his feelings for the schoolgirl is causing him emotional pain.

Wet bus stop, she's waiting
The schoolgirl is waiting for the teacher in the rain at a bus stop, demonstrating her extreme devotion to him.

His car is warm and dry
The teacher offers the schoolgirl a ride in his car to shelter her from the rain, which fuels her fantasies of being with him.

Loose talk in the classroom
Rumors and gossip about the teacher's relationship with the schoolgirl are spreading around the school.

To hurt they try and try
Others are intentionally spreading rumors to damage the teacher's reputation and cause him harm.

Strong words in the staffroom
The teachers and staff members are discussing the situation and making accusations against the teacher.

The accusations fly
The blame for the inappropriate relationship is being placed on the teacher rather than the schoolgirl.

It's no use, he sees her
Despite his best efforts to resist her, the teacher cannot help but be drawn to the schoolgirl.

He starts to shake and cough
The teacher is becoming physically and emotionally unwell due to the stress of the situation.

Just like the old man in that book by Nabakov
The teacher is beginning to feel like the singer in the novel 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov, in which an older man becomes romantically involved with his young stepdaughter, which adds another layer of complexity to the situation.

Don't stand, don't stand so
The teacher recognizes that he is too close to the schoolgirl and wants to put an end to their relationship.

Don't stand so close to me
The teacher desperately wants to distance himself from the schoolgirl before something more serious happens between them that could ruin his career and reputation.
