Standing at the Altar
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, 'cause
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
People sayin' this and 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 (ooh)
You didn't even stop to ask me who, what or where or why?
How could you do this, how could you leave?
You knew how much (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, oh
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
All because of what somebody said (of what somebody said)
I spent my wedding night alone in bed, 'cause
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 (what to say) I don't know what to say
You left me standing at the altar
You left big tears, big tears in my eyes
Oh, oh what or where, or why
You left my poor heart broken
You left my world 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, ooh
They said you up and ran away
All because of what somebody said
I spent my wedding night alone in bed, 'cause
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
People sayin' this and 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 (ooh)
You didn't even stop to ask me who, what or where or why?
How could you do this, how could you leave?
You knew how much (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, oh
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

But I don't know what to say (what to say) I don't know what to say
You left me standing at the altar
You left big tears, big tears in my eyes
Oh, oh what or where, or why
You left my poor heart broken
You left my world 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, ooh
