Standing in the Doorway Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 I'm walkin' through the summer nights

2 Jukebox playin' low

3 Yesterday everything was goin' too fast

4 Today, it's movin' too slow

5 I got no place left to turn

6 I got nothin' left to burn

7 Don't know if I saw you if I would kiss you or kill you

8 Probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow

9 You left me standin' in the doorway, cryin'

10 I got nothin' to go back to now

11 Maybe they'll get me, maybe they won't

12 But not tonight, and it won't be here

13 There are things that I could say but I don't

14 I know the mercy of God must be near

15 I been ridin' the midnight train

16 I got ice water in my veins

17 I would be crazy if I took you back

18 It would go up against any rule

19 You left me standin' in the doorway, cryin'

20 Sufferin' like a fool

21 When the last rays of daylight go down

22 Buddy, you'll roll no more

23 I can hear church bells ringin' in the yard

24 Wonder who they're ringing' for

25 Oh, I know I can't win

26 But my heart, it just won't give in

27 I see nothin' to be gained by any explanation

28 There are no words that need to be said

29 You left me standin' in the doorway, cryin'

30 Blues wrapped around my head
