Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Teacher's Pet

"Teacher's Pet" Is A Song About A Student Who Has Developed A Romantic Relationship With Her Teacher. The Lyrics Describe How The Student Who Seems To Be Infatuated With The Teacher Feels Frustrated And Hurt By The Secrecy Of Their Relationship And His Lack Of Commitment Towards Her. She Is Aware That The Relationship Is Wrong And That The Teacher Has A Wife And Kids But She Cannot Resist Her Desires For Him. The Lyrics Suggest That The Student Is Using Her Sexuality To Get Closer To The Teacher And Even Offers To Have His Babies If She Passes A Quiz. She Feels Like She Is Being Used By The Teacher And That He Is Not Invested In Their Relationship Beyond Their Physical Encounters. The Chorus Which Repeats The Phrase "If I'm So Special Why Am I Secret?" Highlights The Student's Feelings Of Being Undervalued And Neglected. Towards The End The Lyrics Take A More Defiant Tone As The Student Demands Back Her Power And Independence. She Rejects Being The Teacher's "bunny" And Refuses To Be Owned By Him Any Longer Emphasizing That The Relationship Has Taught Her Nothing Positive And That She Was Used. Overall The Song Warns Against The Dangers Of Power Dynamics In Inappropriate Relationships Where One Party May Be Taking Advantage Of The Other For Their Own Selfish Reasons. It Also Sheds Light On The Harmful Emotional Impacts Of Such A Relationship Particularly On Someone So Young Who May Not Fully Understand The Complexity Of Such Situations.
