Standing in the Rain

We met along the back streets where we would not be seen
Our bodies full of passion, with love our only dream
The neon flashed in our hotel room but I never complained
Until the night you left me standing in the rain

I wondered what had happened, afraid to call your home
So I spent the night in the local bar but I had to drink alone
I must have gotten in a fight, 'cause I woke up bleeding with pain
I had the midnight sun with you, now I'm standing in the rain

Standing in the rain (standing)
Oh, standing in the rain (in the rain)

Another woman answered when I called you in the morning
The sound of her voice came without a warning
The sun was coming up but inside my soul was storming
I guess there are some promises you just can't keep

I'm still wandering down those back streets
But with a different point of view
'Cause I lost everything I had when I bet it all on you
I try not to think about it or else I'll go insane
Sometimes I cry, wondering why you left me standing in the rain

Standing in the rain (standing)
Oh, standing in the rain (in the rain)
Why did you leave me standing, standing
Oh, standing in the rain
