No one looked, 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 
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 my room I did not hear from you 
Well it's alright, it's alright 
To be standing in a line, standing in a line 
I would 

Do not turn away my friend 
Well like a willow when I can bend 
No man said he called my name 
You know, no man came 

So I went on down road away from you 
Maybe my attention was more than I could do with 
One man said he would not call 
Then 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 standing in a line, to be standing in a line 
Well I would 

So I went on down road away from you

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 standing in a line, to be standing in a line 
Well I would 

Stand back 
Stand back 
Stand back
