Rufus Wainwright - The Art Teacher 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 Reubens and Rembrandts 
I liked the John Singer Sergeants 
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 uniform, this pantsuit 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.
