Standing in the Wings of a Heartache

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, yeah [Verse 1] I'm a fool to want you the way you do The way I should treat those who fall in love with you But I'll take my chance, maybe I'll be the one who wins I'll just join your growing string of heartbroken men I'm just your puppet on a string Yes, I am, Lord One pull from you and I'll do anything [Chorus] You keep me standing in the wings of heartache Oh, I'm waiting my turn on your stage of heartache I'm standing here And I'm waiting my turn on your stage of heartbreak [Verse 2] You made a promise to me one night That my chance would come if I'd just hang on tight I'm like a man caught in the black widow's web I can sense the danger, but I'm thrilled by your spell Just like playin' a game that you know you can't win Yeah, like jumpin' in the river when you know you can't swim (Oh!) [Chorus] You keep me standing in the wings of heartache Oh, I'm waiting my turn on your stage of heartache Come on, standing there I got to keep on waiting my turn on your stage of heartbreak Yeah, yeah, yeah [Outro] Spend most of my nights waiting by the telephone Afraid you might call and I won't be home I'm a slave to a promise that you made, yes I am Lord, I'm your love, got me trapped here in the days that I [Chorus] Standing in the wings of heartache (Yeah, yeah) (I gotta keep waiting) Oh, I'm waiting my turn on your stage of heartache Gonna keep waiting there, oh I got to keep on waiting my turn on your stage of heartbreak Yeah, yeah, yeah
