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 ranNo 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 homeStand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's all right, it's all right
To be standing in a line
Standing in a line
I would cryDo not turn away, my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No man calls my name
No man cameSo 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
And that was allStand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's all right, it's all right
To be standing in a line
Standing in a line
Standing in a lineSo I walked on down the line
Away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than I could do
One man did not call
Well, he asked me for my love
That was all
