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
