Standing At The Altar Lyrics - Prince

Why? I got the news just yesterday 

They said you up and ran away 

All because of what somebody said 

I spent my wedding night alone in bed 

'Cuz you left me standing at the altar 

You left big tears in my eyes 

(Tears in my eyes) 

You didn't even stop to ask me who 

What or where or why 

Ever since the day that we first met 

Everybody been jealous as they could get 

(They could get) 

People sayin' this and sayin' that 

(Sayin' that) 

Struck us, struck us out before we even got to bat

Hey, you left me standing at the altar 

You left big tears in my eyes 

(Tears in my eyes) 

You didn't even stop to ask me who 

What or where or why 

How could you do this, how could you leave? 

When you knew how much you meant to me 

(You meant to me) 

I gave to you more than I've given any friend 

Just to have you give it all back in the end 

You left my poor heart broken 

You left my world in a daze 

(In a daze) 

If I could, I'd write a letter to you 

But I don't know what to say 

I don't know what to say

I got the news just yesterday 

They said you up and ran away 

If there's a God way up above 

One day you'll have to answer to him for my love 

You left me standing at the altar 

You left big tears in my eyes 

You didn't even stop to ask me who, what or where or why 

You left my poor heart broken 

You left my world in a daze 

(In a daze) 

If I could, I'd write a letter to you 

But I don't know what to say 

I don't know what to say 

(You left me standing at the altar) 

You better stop doggin' me baby, yeah 

I can't take it no more 

I can't take it no more, baby 

(You left my poor heart broken)
