Stand Back - Live on PBS in Boston 2004

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, no one knows how I feel

Or what I mean unless you read between my lines

One man walked away from me

You know 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 standin' in a line

Standin' in a line

To be standin' in a line

I would

La la la la la la la, la la, la la

La la la la la

Do not turn away my friend, well, like a willow, well, I can bend

No man, say call my name, no man came

Well, so I walked on down the line away from you

Well, maybe my attention was more than I could do

Well, one man said he would not fall

But he asked me for too much, he said, "Well, take it all"

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 standin' in a line

Standin' in a line

To be standin' in a line

I will

Well, so I walked on down the line away from you

Well, maybe my attention was more than I could do

Well, one man said he would not fall

But 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 standin' in a line

Standin' in a line

To be standing in a line

I will

Well, I feel I need a little sympathy

Well, I feel I need a little sympathy

Well, I feel I need a little sympathy, baby

Well, you could be standin' in a line

Stand back

Well, you could be standin' in a line

Stand back

Well, you could be standin' in a line

Stand back

Why don't you take me home?

He says, "Why don't you just take me home?"

Stand back

Why don't you take me home?

Well, you could be standin' in a line

Stand back

Ooh, well,you could be standin' in a line

Stand back

Ooh,well, you could be standin' in a line

Stand back

Well, you could be standin' in a line

Stand back

Standin' in a
