from where i stand

oh

i'm drawn to you

like a burnin' flame

but somebody's waitin'

that bears my name

oh

lord knows i'd love to love you

'cause you know i'm just a man

but i can't

not from where i stand

you see i made a promise

when i put on that rign

and i plan to kep it

babe

it's a sacred thing

well

heaven knows i'm tempted

i hope you understand

that i can't

not from where i stand

oh

from where i stand

there's a golden band

and i swear i couldn't stand

to lose it all

so

i better run

while i still can

'cause i can't

babe

not from where i stand

no i can't

not from where i stand

yeah

not from where i stand
