Standing In The Rain Lyrics - Carole King

We met along the back streets where we would not be seen 

Our bodies full of passion, with love our only dream 

The neon flashed in our hotel room, but I never complained 

Until the night you left me standing in the rain 

I wondered what had happened, afraid to call your home 

So I spent the night in the local bar, but I had to drink alone 

I must have gotten in a fight, 'cause I woke up bleeding with pain 

I had the midnight sun with you 

Now I'm standing in the rain 

Standing in the rain 

Another woman answered when I called you in the morning 

The sound of her voice came without a warning 

The sun was coming up, but inside my soul was storming 

I guess there are some promises you just can't keep

I'm still wandering down those back streets 

But with a different point of view 

'Cause I lost everything I had when I bet it all on you 

I try not to think about it, or else I'll go insane 

Sometimes I cry, wondering why you left me standing in the rain 

Standing in the rain 

Why did you leave me standing 

Standing in the rain
