lyrics

Standin' on the other side of the bridge
Waving hello to you, say, "You gonna come over?"
Shake your head & wave back, all smiles
Isn't it just like you, say, "We're gonna meet halfway."
Now I don't like bridges as much as I like your hair
But if I had to make decisions, I'd leave you standin' there
I'd leave you standin' there.

Tight you are with your money and all
I don't know how I ever got into this
Every little thing is a tug of war
But you're so beautiful, I wanna move you this way
Now I don't like distance as much as I like your hair
But if you keep up this resistance, I'll leave you standin' there

I been thinkin' back to one of those days
Trying to keep myself away
You standin' there with those eyes on your face
Waiting, waiting, waiting for me looking like
You know I won't last
You think I'm coming on fast - coming on fast
You know I won't last
You think your love will break me down
How long you been around?

Understand I don't hate you
Once in a while I need to stand my ground
Chances are when the going gets lonely
Isn't just like me to simply go all the way?
Now I don't mind saying how much I like your hair
But if it's up to me giving in ...
You know I'll leave you standin' there

I'll leave you standin' there
Stand there
