It was a dark, depressing party ‘til she came into the room
She wore a neon-colored vinyl skirt that brightened up my view
There was a mutual attraction of a woman and a man
But it was me who had the growing situation on his hands

So I just stood there in the middle there
Yeah ooh yeah

She moved a little closer
I felt my blood begin to rise
I saw that she was coming over by that look inside her eyes

So I just stood there in the middle there
Yeah ooh
I just stood there in the middle there

Chorus
I just stood there in the middle
Wondering where I should put my hands
To cover up the rising thoughts of times to come – my future plans
And all the while she stood there staring, bearing down on everything
While I just stood there wondering what she could see

Now what’s the mess…

So I cursed at Mother Nature for making me look like such a jerk
I thought of sticks and bricks and pushing pins but nothing seemed to work
And then with the prettiest of smiles she walked up and said hello
And then I watched her as her eyes gazed down on me below

So I just stood there in the middle there
Yeah ooh
I just stood there in the middle there

Chorus

One… Two… Three

2 x Chorus

Well I stood there in the middle there
Yeah I’ve stood there in the middle there
Yeah I’ve stood there in the middle there
Yeah I’ve stood there in the middle there…
