I was sitting in the classroom
Trying to look intelligent
In case
The teacher looked at me
She was long and she was lean
She's a middle-aged dream
And that lady means
The whole world to me
It's a natural achievement
Conquering my homework
With her image
Pounding in my brain
She's an inspiration
For my graduation
And she helps to keep
The classroom sane
Oh, teacher, I need you
Like a little child
You got something in you
To drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education
In the lovesick blues
Help me get straight
Come out and say
Teacher, I
Teacher, I
Teacher, I
Teacher, I need you
I have to write a letter, ooh
Tell about my feelings, oh
Just to let her know the scene
Focus my attention
On some further education
In connection
With the birdies and the bees
Oh, so I'm sitting in the classroom, woo
I'm looking like a zombie
I'm waiting for the bell to ring
I've got John Wayne stances
I've got Errol Flynn advances
And it doesn't mean a doggoned thing
Oh, teacher, I need you
Like a little child
You got something in you
To drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education
In the lovesick blues
Help me get straight
Come out and say
Teacher, I
Teacher, I
Teacher, I
Teacher, I need you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, teacher, I need you
Like a little child
You got something in you
To drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education
In the lovesick blues
Help me get straight
Come out and say
Teacher, I
Teacher, I
Teacher, I
Teacher, I need you
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
