"Cause 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
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye"

I've tried to read this every day since it went up, but I can't. I can't get past the first sentence. I really hope it goes all crass and silly after that, but I just don't see it going that way.
Can someone tell me if this turns funny? Before I have to hurt myself reading something sincere?
ACES, ANONYMOUS.

"Secret lovers that's what we are,
We should not be together,
But we can't let go (oh, no) cause we love each other so."
