You there, up-front
The "come on in" greeter, speaker of the schoolhouse
My mental yardstick, the peer-pressure of classrooms, and the board pointed me to you
Tell me what to do
To make a passing grade,
Guiding me like you're of The Good Counselor
Diagnostic impressions of constructive criticism,
Unlike anyone I've ever known
Someone waiting on me, enjoying my attendance
The reports of progress are slow, but I work harder, longer with you
You're here for me; it's in your job description,
But after hours, you devote yourself to my studies
Is there anyone else who you tutor in your spare time?
Are you a saint or my mentor?
Your arm-rest is for comfort, right; there's no need for alarm
Making a pass is for the dean's list approval, right?
Honors college, networking relationship goals
The curriculum to become alumni
"No worries; we're both legal so this is 'grown-folks' business'"
Just between you and me; just you and me; nothing in between us
"Please let me help you; don't you want me to?"
I have full confidence in you as a you contact
I ask you questions but I never question you
My sacrifices remain insufficient; discipline me into my goals
Tame the shrewd as you like
Your favorite, The Wife of Bath, My Fair Lady
Don't directors know the way?
Then being lost with you is a well-lit path
