i need to know where i stand

kissin' in a classroom on a campus

on the coast after hours of analysis

i loved you first

yeah i loved you the most

now it feels like paralysis

and i've got no idea where we're goin' with this

no

i don't know where we're gonna land

and it might go better if do it by the letters

so i need to know where i stand

killin' in a comedy club in hollywood after years of psychotherapy

you were gone forever now you say you're back for good

i swear to god you're gonna bury me

and the people are laughin'

i'm dead on the inside

i'll do anythin' you demand

well

you tell me that you love me yet you won't even hug me

so i need to know where i stand

yes i need to know where i stand

would you please tell me if you can

tell me if you can?

'cause i need

yes i need to know where i stand

quiet in the kitchen of a cracker jack box in the hamlet of wallkill

i miss you so much that it hurts me to talk

yet you're standin' right in front of me still

and i'm reachin' for you but you're fallin' away

this has gotten so out of hand

well

the world my end in a minute my friend

so i need to know where i stand

yes i need to know where i stand

would you please tell me if you can

tell me if you can?

'cause i need

yes i need to know where i stand

yeah

i need to know where i stand

well

i need to know where i stand
