[Verse 1]
No one looked as I walked by
Just an invitation would've 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
[Chorus]
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room, I did not hear from you
It's alright, alright
To be standin' in a line (Standin' in a line)
To be standin' in a line
I would cry
[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la-la, la, la, la
La-la, la-la-la-la-ah
La, la, la-la, la
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room, I did not hear from you
It's alright, alright
To be standin' in a line (Standin' in a line)
To be standin' in a line
I would cry
[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la-la, la, la, la
La-la, la-la-la-la-ah
La, la, la-la, la
Oh-oh, oh-oh
La, la, la-la, la, la, la
La-la, la-la-la-la-ah
La, la, la-la, la
[Bridge]
So I walked
Walked down the line away from you
Maybe your attention was more than I could do
One man did not call
Well, he asked me for my love and that was all
[Chorus]
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room, I did not hear from you
It's alright, alright
To be standin' in a line (Standin' in a line)
To be standin' in a line
I would cry
[Outro]
I need a little sympathy
Stand back
I need a little sympathy
Stand back
La, la, la-la, la
Take me home
La, la, la-la, la, won't you take me home?
La, la, la-la, la, la, la
La-la, la-la-la-la-ah
La, la, la-la, la
Whoa-oh
Stand back
La, la, la-la, la, la, la
Stand back
