No one looked as I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart, then he ran

No, no one knows how I feel
Or what I mean unless you read between my lines
One man walked away from me
You know, first he took my hand
He said, "Take me!"

Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you, well
It's alright, it's alright
You could be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
You could be standing in a line
I would...

Do not turn away, my friend
Well, like a willow, well, I can bend
No man, said he called my name
You know, no man came
Well, so I walked on down the line away from you
Well, maybe my attention was more than I could do, well
One man said he would not fall
But he asked me for too much
He said, "Well, take it all!"

Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you, well
It's alright, it's alright
You could be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would...

Well, so I walked on down the line away from you
Well, maybe my attention was more than I could do, well
One man said he would not fall
But he asked me for too much
He said, "Take me!"

Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you, well
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
Ooh, well, you could be standing in a line
I would...

Well, I feel I need a little sympathy
Well, I feel I need a little sympathy
Well, I feel I need a little sympathy
Well, you could be standin' in
(Stand back)
Well, you could be standin' in
(Stand back)
Well, you could to be standin' in
(Stand back)
Why don't you take me home?
He says, "What don't you just take me home?
(Stand back)
Why don't you take me home?

Well, you could be standin' in
(Stand back)
Well, you could be standin' in
(Stand back)
Well, you could be standin' in it
(Stand  back)
Well, you could be standin' in it
(Stand back)
Standin' in it
