Did you say I 've got a lot to learn?
Well, don't think, I'm tryin' not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Oh, teach me tonight!

Let's start with the ABC of it
Roll right down to the XWZ of it
Help me thaw the mistery of it
Teach me tonight!

The sky's a black board
High above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write:
I love you
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation's almost here, my love

Come on and teach me tonight!
I'll use that star to write: I love you
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love

Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me, please!
teach me tonight!
