Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No one looked, 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
[Verse 2]
No one knows how I feel
What I say, unless you read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand
Take me home
[Verse 3]
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry
[Verse 4]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 5]
Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow, I can bend
No man calls my name
No man came
[Verse 6]
So I walked on, down away from you
Maybe your attention was more than you could do
But one man did not call
He asked me for my love and that was all
[Verse 7]
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry
[Verse 8]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Doo-doo, doo-doo, ahh
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, whoa-oh
[Verse 9]
So I walked, walked down the line away from you
Maybe your intention was more than I could do
One man did not fall
Well, he asked me for my love, that was all
[Verse 10]
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
Could be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry
[Verse 11]
I need a, I need a little sympathy
Well, I need a little sympathy
Well, I need a little sympathy
Well, I need to be standing in (Stand back)
Well, I need to be standing in (Stand back)
Well, I need to be standing in (Stand back)
Take me home, take me home (Stand back)
Don't you take me home?
[Verse 12]
Well, I need a little sympathy (Stand back)
I need to be standing in (Stand back)
Why don't you take me home?
Why don't you take me home? (Stand back)
Take me home (Alright)
Take me home (Alright)
