Standing Alone Lyrics

 (D. Vaughn, M. Clayton, B. St.James, J. Kennedy)

"A note to Tyketto fans both new and not so new:
 'Standing Alone' was originally released on our previous record,
 "Don't Come Easy" (DGC, cat. #24317) through some weird twist of fate
 it was never put out as a single. Last year we were buried in fan mail,
 and we read all of it, at home or on the bus. We even got to write some of
 you back. Almost all of your letters said "What ever happened to
 'Standing Alone' ?" and that it was a favourite. We were honoured that it
 touched so many people. So we took your letters to the powers that be,
 added some guitars, sang it again, mixed it over again, and surprised
 even ourselves. So, thanks to all of you. Here it is again. You are our
 strength in numbers."

Starin' out the window like I'm waiting for a change
As if I stared long enough, I'd see it when it came
A used up book of numbers by the silent telephone
I called up every one I found, but didn't talk to no one

And the rain comes down as if it's trying to wash me away
And there ain't no romantic movie lines, like they say

 Chorus:
Standing alone, like I got nowhere to go
Standing alone, like the day that I was born
Out on my own, I believe this boy has grown, standing alone

Ain't no way to take a blow when every cheek's been turned
I can't show another side when every side's been burned
I'm helpless, can't fight a raging heart
And I got no use for bein' torn apart

And the world don't seem to have no use for me
'Cos you're given nothing, and nothing isn't free

(chorus)

You can't keep it all inside, I need someone else to stand with me by my side
Give me something to fight, something to hold on to
I just don't wanna be standing alone

(Solo)

And the rain comes down as if it's trying to wash me away
And there ain't no romantic movie lines, like they say

(chorus repeats 2x)
