Maybe I've got no self control Carving my name with the knife that I stole The school bell interrupted my dream I read the book, but I just can't seem to learn it Or turn it into something I can understand I can't eat, I can't sleep It's young love in the palm of my hand The teacher in the dusty suit Thinks I'm a creep 'cause I don't bring him fruit He saw us kissing in the shower room steam I drank the milk, but I just can't seem to shake it Or make it into something that is less than it is I've got a date, I can't concentrate And the teacher's moving in for the kill A little knowledge is a dangerous thing All it can bring Is part of the heartache you'd get anyway And if the one that you love Calls from above Just let it go or you'll know why I say A little knowledge is a dangerous thing And the years went by so slowly And though we have been together through it all I can't take another day You make me want to throw the plates Against the wall There's been a hair at the back of my throat Since I learned how to read what you wrote I fell asleep with your tongue in my ear The dawn broke, and I woke to hear the door slam And you ran down the stairs to the street below I just took a heavy book A dictionary to throw A little knowledge is a dangerous thing All it can bring Is part of the heartache you'd get anyway And if the one that you love Calls from above Just let it go or you'll know why I say A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
