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
