Lyrics
|
|
No one looked...as 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)
|
I would cry...
|
|
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)
|
(Standing in a line)
|
|
So I walked on 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
|
That was all
|
|
|
