Well, on the outside, I'm a pretty dull guy
I'm not good looking, but still, I try
On the inside, I'm frustrations galore
I'm never happy, 'cause all I want is more
So, can you teach me, what you want me to be?
Teach me, what's your reality?
Oh mister, can you teach me what to think and to see?
Teach me, what's your reality
When I was younger, I was tough and bold
When I got older, people said ""Act old""
I'm in no man's land, and wonder what to be
You've got to show me, you got to gotta teach me
So, can you teach me, what you want me to be?
Teach me, teach me what's your reality
Oh mister, can you teach me what to think and to see?
Teach me, what's your reality
People pick up poses on the street
I end up going home all alone (Too bad!)
Then, I need someone to help me off my feet
Help me take this life of mine
Far enough to leave behind
Out of sight, out of mind
Won't you teach me?
Oh, teach me all the tricks of the social trade
Show me what to surrender, to make the grade?
I'll have it madeThen I can be like you!
The facts of life babe, they come real fast
A hit and run job, but by me they pass
I'd be your servant, yeah, at your beck and call
If you would show me, what to do, that's all
Come on and teach me, what you want me to be
Teach me, teach me your reality
Oh mister, can you teach me what to think and to see?
Teach me, what's your reality
Teach me what you want me to be. Etc.
