Teach Me Tonight
Embracing Life's Lessons: "Teach Me Tonight" by Ronnie Milsap
Lyrics
Did you say that I've got a lot to learn Well don't think
Addressing the suggestion that there's much to learn but expressing reluctance or disinterest in the learning process.
I'm trying not to learn Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Emphasizing the refusal to actively engage in learning, implying a lack of motivation.
Teach me tonight
Expressing openness to learning in the current situation, setting the stage for the request to be taught tonight.
Starting with the ABC of it
Starting with the basics, possibly referring to fundamental aspects of a relationship or love.
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Delving into the details or complexities of the subject matter.
Me solve the mystery of it Teach me tonight
Asking for guidance to solve the mysteries or challenges of the topic at hand.
The sky's a blackboard high above you
Using metaphorical language to describe the vastness of the sky as a canvas for learning.
And if a shooting star goes by I'll use that star to write
Expressing a willingness to use any opportunity, even a fleeting one like a shooting star, to convey feelings of love.
"I love you" A thousand times across the sky
Committing to expressing love repeatedly and abundantly.
One thing isn't very clear my love
Expressing uncertainty or confusion in the context of a romantic relationship.
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Suggesting that boundaries or personal space in the relationship are being crossed by a teacher figure.
Graduation's almost here my love
Referring to an impending graduation, possibly symbolizing a transition or change in the relationship.
You'd better teach me tonight
Stressing the urgency of being taught tonight, possibly before a significant event or change.
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
Acknowledging experience in romantic scenarios but expressing a willingness to learn more.
And I've also met a chick or two
Acknowledging past encounters with different individuals.
But I still can learn a trick or two
Remaining open to learning new things, even in the realm of romance.
Hey teach me tonight I who thought I knew the score of it
Reflecting on the misconception of knowing everything about love and expressing a desire to learn more.
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Admitting a lack of knowledge and expressing a desire to gain more insights into love.
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Referencing various locations (off the wall, the bed, the floor) as potential settings for learning.
Hey teach me tonight
Reiterating the request to be taught tonight.
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
Describing the slow approach of midnight, possibly symbolizing a crucial moment or decision.
When there's no one there but you
Highlighting a scenario where only two individuals are present, emphasizing intimacy.
There must be more to life than sleeping
Expressing a desire for a more fulfilling life beyond mere existence or routine.
Single in a bed for two What I need most is post graduate
Expressing a need for advanced or post-graduate-level knowledge in the context of the relationship.
What I feel is hard to articulate If you want me to matriculate
Acknowledging difficulty in articulating feelings and expressing a willingness to enroll in lessons.
You'd better teach me tonight What do you get for lessons
Posing a rhetorical question about the rewards or outcomes of the lessons.
Teach me
Repeating the request for teaching.
Come on and teach me
Encouraging the teacher to start the teaching process.
Teach me tonight
Reiterating the urgency and importance of being taught tonight.
