I'VE BEEN STOOD UP

Words & Music: Ron Tintner (c) 2009

I'm standing in the alley in back of your flat
Wonderin' if you know it, as a matter of fact
I've been standing here
Most of the night

I was knockin' on your door at a quarter till eight
A few minutes early, I just couldn't wait
'Cause I've been waitin' for this
Most of my life

C0HORUS:
No one answered, no one came
I waited for an hour, wracking my brain
I tried your phone, both cell and home, but it looks like?
I've been stood up

I was so excited when you finally said yes
A girl like you with me; the unlikeliness
But you know I'm so naive
Most of the time

You know that Lookin' back I guess it wasn't such a surprise
I should have recognized the laugh in your eyes
And the hints I got from
Most of the guys

- - CHORUS 2 --


BRIDGE:
What did I do to deserve this?
When will I learn?
Why can't I figure out
How to not get burned

I'm standing in the alley in back of your flat
Wonderin' if you know it; as a matter of fact
I've been standing here
Most of the night
And it looks like
I've been stood up
