[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
To be standing in a line
I would cry

[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la
La-la
La, la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la, la
[Verse 2]
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, that was all

[Chorus]
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
To be standing in a line
I would cry

[Post-Chorus]
La, la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la
La-la
La, la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la, la
La, la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la
La-la
La, la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la, la
[Bridge]
So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more than I could do
One man did not fall
He asked me for my love, that was all

[Chorus]
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
To be standing in a line
I could cry

[Outro]
Stand back!
Stand back!
Stand back!
Stand back!
