Lyrics

No one looked
I walked by
Just an invitation
would have been just fine
I said no, 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

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

I would cry

La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, laaaa
La, la, laaaaa

Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No no no no no man calls my name
No no no no man came

So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than you could do
But one man did not call
He 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
To be standing in a line
I would cry

La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, laaaa
La, la, la-la, la, la, laaaaa
Do do
La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
Laaaaa
I could cry

I need a little sympathy
(take me home)
(stand back, stand back)
Well, I need a little sympathy
(take me home)
(stand back, stand back)
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Well, I need a little sympathy
(take me home)
(Stand back, stand back)
Take me home

Well, I need a little sympathy
