Sting - Don't Stand So Close To Me Lyrics






Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabokov

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

Sting Don't Stand So Close To Me Comments
  1. A.... M....

    This the new theme for coronavirus? 🦠

  2. G.... B....

    Never underestimate how much music can influence you. I read Lolita.

  3. b.... ....

    0:50 isn't it spelled Caesar?? Not Ceasar?

  4. A.... ....

    I want my, I want my, I want my MTV

  5. H.... ....

    Then you get only 10 secs of like the girl, but the its all just 3 guys standing dancing really close together for almost the entire thing. Yeah. Actual representation for most in school I assume.

  6. M.... N....

    Shirtless teacher Sting is HOT

  7. j.... ....

    Always preferred this version to the '86 remake.

  8. V.... B....

    I've just realized this is just Sting making a song out of the more recently coined "BEGONE THOT"

  9. R.... s....

    This version sounds better than my CD copy.

  10. M.... G....

    True story: The Rolling Stones were getting ready for a show when a guy walked in and said "the police are here". Keith Richards grabbed all of their drugs and flushed them". A few minutes later, in walks Sting.

  11. J.... W....

    Purple don't stand too close to me I am warning ya!

  12. G.... L....

    Came from Glee

  13. D.... V....

    Will - Rachel

  14. R.... T....

    no hay comentario latino que pasa solo yo escucho esta banda
    saludos desde El SAlvador

  15. L.... E....

    My very first .45. 😱 I'm so showing my age! 😍

  16. C.... J....

    Dont stand so close 2 me

  17. C.... J....

    Lol space and time lol dont stand so close 2 me

  18. P.... ....

    I could never be in a band, cuz I wouldnt want to prance around like an idiot for a video.

  19. C.... D....

    Police rule!

  20. J.... 2....

    1:51 reminds me of the danish Christmas calender "Pyrus"

  21. C.... J....

    Good.song.p.told.u

  22. C.... J....

    Dont.stand.so.close.p

  23. C.... N....

    This song was less offensive until I realized Sting was 38 and not 24 when he wrote this song. He looked incredibly young for his age but his real age at the time of the video is very concerning.

  24. C.... M....

    3:27 that moment when you realize that your shooting a music video about lusting after young girls and your sitting shirtless for in a classroom... and you also used to be a teacher.

  25. J.... M....

    This is the nicest way of saying "Get the f*** out of here".

  26. l.... f....

    Uni type robes lol

  27. A.... D....

    Bella band

  28. J.... W....

    Like the band ! What he is holding is a carpet or rug beater!

  29. M.... S....

    Wow there is more than one sting wtf XD

  30. M.... S....

    So sting was a teacher before the police?? lol

  31. A.... T....

    Cant sing, lyrics must have took years to write😂and made lots of dosh as the most overrated musicians ever.Where is the justice?

  32. S.... ....

    The more you say that I cant stay so close to u, the more I stay closer to you.
    Expecially in your Sport Ka 😁♥️

  33. S.... K....

    Hm. I’m a boomer and grew up with this music. I’m grateful for this, as most of the music from the Police was progressive.
    I will say that this didn’t age well...

  34. S.... H....

    Just depends on who it is 😇😈😁

  35. B.... T....

    This song is basically just the British equivalent of Hot for Teacher by Van Halen

  36. j.... f....

    Since they got Stuart Copeland's new music series on the box tonight which I'll have a look at..better to play this track..great song..always reminded by a guy at work who was a big "Police" fan and was always playing the band on the tape deck back in the day. How to get an introduction to the Police...well the music not the actual "Polis!"

  37. C.... C....

    Can anybody read what's on chalkboard?😊

  38. C.... C....

    Been a Minute since I watched this video, forgot Sting did take off shirt,now I know why I watched it so much:)

  39. L.... R....

    Nowadays the female teachers cant seem to say the same thing

  40. g.... h....

    Almost 40 years ago some white kids was listing to this funny looking thing at lunch . It was the 8th grade for me . I asked him what that thing was . He said it was a Walkman and asked if i wanted to listen . It was Synchronicity playing . I don't know if it was the hi fidelity the song or what . But i could not believe anything thing could sound like them . I listen to the whole tape . Before that i would not have thought I'd like this kind of music. But since that day i have been a fan of Sting and The Police .

  41. L.... L....
