Stand Back (Live)

No one looked as I walked by

Just an invitation would have been just fine

I said no to him again and again

First he took my heart, then he ran

No, no one knows how I feel

Or what I mean unless you read between my lines

One man walked away from me

First he took my hand, he said, "Take me"

Stand back, stand back

In the middle of the room

I did not hear from you

Well, it's alright, it's alright

To be standin' in a line

(Standin' in a line)

To be standin' in a line

Well, I will

Do not turn away, my friend

Well, like a willow, well, I can bend

No man, said he'd call my name

But, no, no man came

So I went on down the road away from you

Maybe my attention was more than I could do

Well, one man said he would not fall

But he asked me for too much

He said, "Take it"

Stand back, stand back

In the middle of my room

I did not hear from you

Well, it's alright, it's alright

To be standin' in a line

(Standin' in a line)

To be standin' in a line

Well, I will

So I went on down the road away from you

Maybe my attention was more than I could do

Well, one man said he would not fall

But he asked me for too much

He said, "Take me"

Stand back, stand back

In the middle of my room

I did not hear from you

Well, it's alright, it's alright

To be standin' in a line

(Standin' in a line)

To be standin' in a line

Well, I will

Well, I feel I need a little sympathy

Well, I feel I need a little sympathy

Well, I feel I need a little sympathy, baby

Well, you could be standin' in a

(Stand back)

Ah, well, you could be standin' in a

(Stand back)

Ah, well, you could be standin' in a

(Stand back)

Take me home

He said, "Why don't you just take me home?"

(Stand back)

Why don't you take me home?

Ooh, well, you could be standin' in a

(Stand back)

Ooh, well, you could be standin' in a

(Stand back)

Ooh, well, you could be standin' in a

(Stand back)

Well, you could be standin' in a

(Stand back)
