Stuck In The Middle With You

Gerry Rafferty · Other Songs - Gerry Rafferty

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight

I got the feelin' that somethin' ain't right

So scared in case I fall off my chair

And I'm wonderin' how I'll get down the stairs



Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

And I'm wonderin' what it is I should do



It's so hard to keep this smile from my face

Losin' control, yeah, I'm all over the place

There's clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you



Well, you started out with nothin'

And you're proud that you're a self-made man

And your friends, they all come crawlin'

Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"



Tryin' to make some sense of it all

But I can see, it makes no sense at all

Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?

'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore



Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you



Well, you started out with nothing

And you're proud that you're a self-made man

And your friends, they all come crawlin'

Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please, please"



Well, I don't know why I came here tonight

I got the feelin' that somethin' ain't right

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

And I'm wonderin' how I'll get down the stairs



There's clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you



Stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you

Stuck in the middle with you

Stuck in the middle with you
