lyrics 
verse 
Just when I thought I finally learned my lesson well 
There was more to this than meets the eye 
And for all the things you taught me, only time will tell 
If I'll be able to survive, oh yeah 

chorus 

Teacher, teacher, can you teach me 
Can you tell me all I need to know 
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me 
Or will I fall when you let me go, oh no 

verse 
Am I ready for the real world, will I pass the test 
You know it's a jungle out there 
Ain't nothin gonna stop me, I won't be second best 
But the joke's on those who believe the system's fair, oh yeah  

chorus 
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me 
Can you tell me if I'm right or wrong 
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me 
I wanna know what's goin on, oh yeah 

bridge 
So the years go on and on, but nothing's lost or won 
And what you learned is soon forgotten 
They take the best years of your life 
Try to tell you wrong from right 
But you walk away with nothing, oh oh 

chorus 
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me 
Can you tell me all I need to know 
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me 
Or will I fall when you let me go 

chorus 
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me 
Can you tell me if I'm right or wrong 
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me 
I wanna know what's goin on, oh 

chorus 
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me 
Teacher, teacher, can you reach me 
Teacher, teacher, can you teach me 
Teacher, teacher, ooh yeah 
Teacher, teacher 
Teacher, teacher
