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?
