Goodbye to Innocence Songtext
von Uriah Heep

9 o′clock on Monday morning always running late
Prior to commitments she would always miss the gate
Now it was pretty obvious that she was teacher's pet
But just like any teenage boy, we took what we could get
To say goodbye to innocence
What she′s teachin' you don't learn at school
So say goodbye to innocence
She′s breakin′ all the rules, and she's nobody′s fool
Turning up for classes she was never there on time
And what she had been up to was on every schoolboy's mind
Young imaginations left to wonder can go wild
But she was no delinquent, she was just a wild child


Every school has got one, but they′re sometimes hard to see
Flirtatious confrontations always been the death of me
Now you could make her master class if she gives you the glance
But if you're late, make no mistake, they′ll be no second chance
To say goodbye to innocence
What she's teachin' you don′t learn at school
So say goodbye to innocence
She′s breakin' all the rules, and she′s nobody's fool
Turning up for classes she was never there on time
And what she had been up to was on every schoolboy′s mind
Young imaginations left to wonder can go wild
But she was no delinquent, she was just a wild child

Every school has got one, but they're sometimes hard to see
Flirtatious confrontations always been the death of me
Now you could make her master class if she gives you the glance
But if you′re late, make no mistake, they'll be no second chance
