Standing At The Altar

Prince · Other Songs - 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)
