  Gm                                     A#
Caught the teacher giving his eyes to a student
                             F/A              D
Pouty, pretty cute, and she bit her lip back to him
  Gm                                A#
Chewing on her nails and her pens while
she's dreaming of him
                     F/A           D
And he's fucking in sin (You know he is)

Gm
She said, "It's for all the right reasons, baby
A#
Don't care 'bout grades, just call me your lady
   Cm
If I pass this quiz, will you give me your babies?
F/A    D
Don't call me crazy
    Gm
You love me, but you won't come save me
A#
You got a wife and kids, you see them daily
Cm
Don't know why you even need me"

Chorus:
 Gm          A#
Teacher's pet
                       Cm
If I'm so special, why am I secret?
D7
Yeah, why the fuck is that?
    Gm       A#
Do you regret the things we shared
            Cm
that I'll never forget?
D7
Well, do you? Tell me that
Gm                        A#                     Cm
I know I'm young, but my mind is well beyond my years
                                 D7
I knew this wouldn't last, but fuck you,
don't you leave me here
Gm
Teacher's pet
A#                       Cm        D7
If I'm so special, why am I secret?

She's feeling like a spider in a cage
You liar, you were her desire
Now she wants to light you on fire
But fuck it, she'll still give you a call
And a lighter when you wanna get high
And mess around 'til you get numb

She said, "It's for all the right reasons, baby
Don't care 'bout grades, just call me your lady
If I pass this quiz, will you give me your babies?
Don't call me crazy
You love me, but you won't come save me
You got a wife and kids, you see them daily
Don't know why you even need me"

Chorus

Gm
Gimme back my money
       A#                                Cm
Didn't learn a damn thing, honey, from you
               D7
Except how to lie and cheat while inside the sheets
     Gm
Stop calling me your bunny
        A#
I won't hop and you don't own me
   Cm              D7
Do you? I bet you think you do

Well, you don't

Chorus:
Teacher's pet
If I'm so special, why am I secret? (Why am I? Why am I?)
Yeah, why the fuck is that?
Do you regret the things we shared that I'll never forget?
Well, do you? Tell me that
I know I'm young, but my mind is well beyond my years
I knew this wouldn't last,
but fuck you, don't you leave me here
Teacher's pet
If I'm so special, why am I secret? (Why am I?)
