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
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
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...
La-la la la-la la
la la la-la-laaa
la laa
la-la la la-la laa
Do not turn
away my friend
like a willow
I can bend
No man calls
my name
No man came
So I walked on down
away from you
Maybe your attention
was more
than you could do
One man
did not call
He asked me
for my love
and that was all
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...
La-la la la-la la
la la la-la-laaa
la laa
la-la la la-la laa
La-la la la-la la
la la la-la-laaa
la laa
la-la la la-la laa
So I walked on
down away
from you
Maybe your attention
was more
than you could do
One man
did not call
He asked me
for my love
and that was all
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...
Well I need a
little sympathy
Well I need a
little sympathy
Well I need a
little sympathy
Well I'm gonna be
standing in
(stand by)
Well I'm gonna be
standing in
(stand by)
Well I'm gonna be
standing in
(stand by)
Well I'm gonna be
standing in
Well I need a
little sympathy
Well I'm gonna be
standing in
