Standing In The Rain

Standing in the Rain - Carole King

Written by：Gerry Goffin/Carole King

We met along the back streets

Where we would not be seen

Our bodies full of passion

With love our only dream

The neon flashed in our hotel room

But I never complained

Until the night you left me

Standing in the rain

I wondered what had happened

Afraid to call your home

So I spent the night in the local bar

But I had to drink alone

I must have gotten in a fight

'Cause I woke up bleeding with pain

I had the midnight sun with you

Now I'm standing in the rain

Standing in the rain standing

Oh standing in the rain in the rain

Another woman answered

When I called you in the morning

The sound of her voice

Came without a warning

The sun was coming up

But inside my soul was storming

I guess there are some promises

You just can't keep

I'm still wandering down those back streets

But with a different point of view

'Cause I lost everything I had

When I bet it all on you

I try not to think about it

Or else I'll go insane

Sometimes I cry

Wondering why you left me

Standing in the rain

Standing in the rain standing

Oh standing in the rain in the rain

Why did you leave me standing standing

Oh standing in the rain
