MY HOUSE WAS A HAPPY HOUSE
OH BUT NOW IT'S A LONELY HOUSE
THERE WERE TWO OF US, WE WERE HAPPY AS I RECALL

BUT NOW THE RAIN FALLS AROUND IT
AND LONELINESS HAS FOUND IT
AND I, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL
OF IT ALL

MY FRIENDS THEY LOOK AT ME AND SAY
OH I WONDER WHAT MADE THAT BOY THAT WAY
THE BOY DOESN'T EVEN SMILE AT ALL

BUT I WONDER WHAT THEY WOULD SAY
IF THEIR WORLD JUST CAME DOWN ONE DAY
AND THEY WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL

I GAVE THAT GIRL ALL THE LOVE THAT I HAD, HAD TO GIVE
AND THE LOVE THAT I GAVE HER WAS REALLY, REALLY REAL
NOW I ACHE WITH HEARTACHE AND PAIN
AND A HURT THAT I JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN
YES IT LOOKS LIKE MY LIFE IS ABOUT TO FALL
SO I BUILT A SHIELD AROUND IT
BUT SADNESS HAS FOUND IT
AND ME, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL
AND ME, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL
