you say you've got a teacher crush   and you tell me about the gentle rush   how you wanna be the numbers   in her mathematical world   I think you want too much   you could never give her enough   she's your teacher,   not some beautiful beautiful girl      now I think she's typical   somewhat still likeable   despite these equations   she is dragging us through   but her voice takes your breath away   as we're standing in the hallway   I can see you staring as she's leaving the leaving the room      oh we both know you hate algebra   and school never mattered much to you   so the way you're going on about   this stuff makes me wonder about   this teacher crush   your crazy little teacher crush      consider your teacher crush   the kind of feeling that'll   make you blush   you try so hard to find   the slope of her slope of her line   you wonder about her family life   and I wonder if you realize   these kinds of things will   drive you out of your out of your mind      'cause it's all hopeless anyhow   you know that the teacher's lounge   is closed, so you better find   a way to get your heart unstuck   from something like a teacher crush      you say you're just a rare romantic   but one as rare as this   he rarely wins      so boy, if you want some of my advice,   just keep your fractions simplified   and please for your happiness,   don't try to build a lasting love   from nothing but a teacher crush
