I Stood On the Sidewalk

My lady, my lady, my lady

My lady (my lady, my lady)

My baby (my baby, my lady)

I heard through the grapevine

You've been seeing someone else

I couldn't believe the rumors

I had to find out for myself

So I set up a lookout

Across the street from where you live

Yes, I did, lady

And when I saw him, hold you and squeeze you

I just couldn't hold back my tears

Cause I was so hurt inside

I stood on the side, walking cry

I guess I should be angry, (uh uh)

But I'm sorry for you (uh uh)

Cause I know he could never (uh uh)

Love you like I do (love you like I do, uh uh)

And it hits like a hammer (uh uh)

And it burns deep within (uh uh)

If you had to love another (uh uh)

Did it have to be my friend?

So hurt inside

I stood on the side, walking cry

In the crowd, in the crowd, in the crowd

And it hits like a hammer (uh uh)

And it burns deep within (uh uh)

If you had to love another (uh uh)

Did it have to be my friend?

So hurt inside

I stood on the side, walking cry

In the crowd, in the crowd, in the crowd

I just stood there with tears in my eyes and I cried

I just stood there with tears walking by and I cried

Why you wanna do it? sorry

When you know I love you

I didn't mean to hurt you

But he could never love you

I just told my sister's story

Why you wanna do it?

I'm sorry

I stood on the sidewalk and cried

And I cried, and I cried

I got so much I wanna say
