lyrics

I Don’t Stand in Line

I hadn’t heard your name, baby, in such a long time
Now they say that you’re lookin for me…but darling, I don’t stand in line
to be put down anymore, no, that’s not how I roll.
Yeah things have changed ever since that day when you last crushed my soul

(ref):
and I guess I should credit you for showin me that I can feel
and how can I blame you for walkin through an open door,
but if you don’t mind, I think I’ll leave you in the past where you belong
Cuz I don’t stand in line to be put down anymore.

When I first met you, baby, was I ever green
Had little hearts inside my eyes – I thought you’d treat me like a queen,
well …I guess I didn’t realize I was standing in line
Ready to pay for what you couldn’t give away, but not today, no, not this time

and I guess I should credit you for showin me that I can feel
and how can I blame you for walkin through an open door,
but if you don’t mind, I think I’ll leave you in the past where you belong
Cuz I don’t stand in line to be put down anymore.

Oh darling I’m so glad you wanna get in touch with me
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not bitin – but I do appreciate the opportunity
to let you know just where I stand, but I’ll do it with class, yeah I’ll do it right
Make my voice heard without sayin a word, and unlike you, still be able to sleep at night

and I guess I should credit you for showin me that I can feel
and how can I blame you for walkin through an open door,
but if you don’t mind, I think I’ll leave you in the past where you belong
Cuz I don’t stand in line to be put down anymore.
No I don’t stand in line to be put down…anymo…o…ore.
