Watch the movie by the same name and it will be OBVIOUS.
ANSWEROr just listen to the song! She is singing about her respect for a black teacher who taught her and her classmates the real meaning of love. It is much deeper than that. I agree, watch the movie.Lulu is singing about their teacher, a black man, who "took them from crayons to perfume", taught them right from wrong, and how do they repay him for all he has done for them. It was a reversal in the social chain where these kids were ghetto and he was educated. Listen to the song and watch the flick...both are great.

One of the sub-plots in the movie, To Sir With Love, is the "sexual tension" that exists between the teacher and one of his students. So the song also deals with the idea that the student could only "give" herself to him in a platonic sense. Lulu is singing on behalf of all the students who "grew up" under the teacher's supervision, but could not express it any other way.
"To Sir with Love" is a movie from the mid 1900's that shows the story of a black teacher, coming into a school mainly made up of students who have been rejected from other schools. All the other teachers that have tried to teach them are unsuccessful, but this particular teacher will not give up.
He has taken the job of teaching the kids whilst waiting to be accepted into a job in th engineering industry.
He is finally offered a place, but decides that he wants to keep on teaching so he can change other people's life like he changed his previous class's.
The song "To Sir with Love" is sung by one of the students (Played by Lulu) in thanks of changing their lives for the better at the end of year graduation celebration.
This song can be inerpreted anyway you want it to be, but generally it is a song of thanks for your teacher.
Hope that helped.
