Lyrics
Stand Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Stevie Nicks)
No one looks as I walk by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to her again, again and again
First she took my heart then she ran
No one knows just how I feel
What I say unless you read between the lines
One girl walked away from me
First she took my head and then she
Take me home.
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's all right, it's all right
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry
Do not turn away my friend
Like a river I can bend
No one calls out my name
And no one came
So I walked on down the line and waited for you
Maybe your protected from all that you do
One girl, did not call
She asked me for my love and that was all
Stand back, Stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry
So I walked on down the line and waited for you
Maybe your attention was more than I could do
One girl, did not fall
She asked me for my love and that was all
Stand back, Stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
You'll be standing in line
You'll be standing in line
I will cry
Gotta find a little sympathy ....
Try and ask me anything....
Gotta find a little sympaty....
Can I find a little sympathy.....
