Prince - Standing At The Altar Lyrics

Artist: Prince

Album: 1-800-New-Funk

  • Songwriters: Prince Rogers Nelson

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)
