I've had enough of danger And people on the streets I'm looking out for angels Just trying to find some peace Now I think it's time    That you let me know     So if you love me Say you love me But if you don't just let me go... 'cos teacher     There are things that I don't want to learn          And the last one I had   Made me cry So I don't want to learn to Hold you, touch you..oooooooouuu       Think that you're mine       Because it ain't no joy    For an uptown boy Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye                   When you were just a stranger And I was at your feet   I didn't feel the danger Now I feel the heat That look in your eyes Telling me no    So you think that you love me Know that you need me I wrote the song, I know it's wrong Just let me go... And teacher      There are things           That I don't want to learn Oh the last one I had Made me cry So I don't want to learn to Hold you, touch you..oooooooouuu       Think that you're mine   Because it ain't no joy For an uptown boy Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, Goodbye              So when you say that you need me         That you'll never leave me I know you're wrong, you're not that strong Let me go       And teacher      There are things That I still have to learn But the one thing I have is my pride       Oh so I don't want to Hold you, touch you...oooooooouuuuu         Think that you're mine       Because there ain't no joy       For an uptown boy Who just isn't willing to try    I'm so cold Inside Maybe just one more try...

À propos de la chanson

La chanson parle d'un homme en quête de sérénité au milieu des tumultes de la vie. Il se sent tiraillé par des sentiments compliqués, entre l’espoir d’un amour réciproque et la douleur de la solitude. Il se rend compte que s’attacher à quelqu’un qui ne l’aime pas vraiment ne ferait qu’aggraver sa souffrance. Il exprime un désir de laisser derrière lui des leçons amères et cherche plutôt une connexion authentique, même si cela implique de faire face à la froideur de la réalité. Dans ce contexte, l’homme réfléchit à sa propre vulnérabilité et à la difficulté d'apprendre à aimer lorsqu'on a déjà souffert. Sa fierté et son besoin de protection le poussent à vouloir se défendre contre de nouvelles blessures, même s'il envisage encore une dernière chance au bonheur. L'ambivalence des relations et les peurs qui en découlent sont au cœur de son message.
