Lyrics
We met along the backstreets where we would not be seen
Our bodies full of passion, with love our only dream
A 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 you home
So I spent the night in a local bar, but I had to drink alone
I must've 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 in the rain), oh, oh
Standing in the rain (standing in the rain)
Another man answered when I called you in the morning
The sound of his 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
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still wandering down those backstreets
But with a different point of view
I've 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 in the rain), oh, oh
Standing in the rain (standing in the rain), oh, oh
Standing in the rain (standing in the rain), oh, oh
Standing in the rain (standing in the rain)
Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
Standing in the rain
