The Art Teacher lyrics

Song information

Artist: Rufus Wainwright
Album: Want Two

Lyrics

There I was in uniform
Looking at the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then

He was not that much older than I was
He had taken our class to the metropolitan museum
He asked us what our favorite work of art was
But never could I tell it was him
Oh, I wish I could tell him --
Oh, I wish I could have told him

I looked at the ruben's and rembrandt's
I liked the john singer sargent's
He told me he liked turner
Never have I turned since then
No, never have I turned to any other man

All this having been said
I married an executive company head
All this having been done, a turner - I own one!
Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing
Thinking of the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
No, never have I loved any other man
