[Verse 1]
I never got over childish dreaming
Guess I left my head up in the clouds
I never accepted all your reasons
Let me think it over with a hand to hold

[Chorus]
Standing alone, standing alone, lonely wingman
I will wait in the background
Working alone, working to hold in this feeling
So give me your hand, make me a man
If you mean it...

[Post-Chorus]
I will wait for you, baby
I will go where my body is leading
I never accepted all your reasons
So give me your hand, make me a man
In the heat of the evening

[Verse 2]
Do you remember all the trouble?
I never wanted to be seen
How it all ended in a moment
When you took my hand and let me hold it freely
[Chorus]
Standing alone, standing alone, lonely wingman
I will wait in the background
Working alone, working to hold in this feeling
So give me your hand, make me a man
If you feel like you mean it

[Bridge]
Happiness leaves me yearning
Tell me that you feel it too
If you see me hurting, you'll know
Happiness can leave you cold

[Chorus]
Standing alone, standing alone, lonely wingman
I will wait in the background
Working alone, working to hold in this feeling
Give me your hand, make me a man
If you mean it...

[Post-Chorus]
I will wait for you, baby
I will go where my body is leading
I never accepted all your reasons
So give me your hand, make me a man
In the heat of the evening
[Outro]
Standing alone, standing alone, lonely wingman
Working alone, working to hold in this feeling
Feeling the earth, feeling my worth and I'm reeling
Giving it up, living it up like I mean it
Standing alone, standing alone, lonely wingman
Working alone, working to hold in this feeling
Feeling the earth, feeling my worth and I'm reeling
Giving it up, living it up like I mean it
