Stevie Nicks - Stand Back Lyrics






No one looked
I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart then he ran

No one knows how I feel
What I say unless you read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand
Take me home

(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry

La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, laaaa
La, la, la-la, laaaaa

Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No man calls my name
No man came

So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than you could do
But one man did not call
He asked me for my love
And that was all

(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I would cry

La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, laaaa
La, la, la-la, la, la, laaaaa
Too few, too few
Laaaaa
La, la, la-la, la, la, laaa, la-la
La, la, laaaa
La, la, la-la, laaaaaa

So I walked, walked down the line
Away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than I could do
One man did not fall
Well, he asked me for my love
That was all

(Stand back, stand back)
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright, it's alright
To be standing in a line
(Standing in a line)
To be standing in a line
I could cry
I need a little sympathy
Well, I need a little sympathy
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Well, I need to be standing in
(Stand back)
Take me home
Take me home
(Stand back)
Don't you take me home
Well, I need a little sympathy
(Stand back)...

    My friend was going on an as blood cover the brown where his body was I felt heavy could not move and tears run down my face and I cried and ice cream I holla at him and he stood there like less like nothing could touch him and he walked away and went back to his job like he didn't do anything wrong my friend is gone he's no more I cannot hear his voice is it advised his laughter stare into his eyes his arms around me to comfort me my friend is gone I lost a best off me and nothing cannot take that place the light is going out and the stars are shining the moon is full and still it does not fulfilling me you cannot take the place of my friend who was once in my life and now it's gone

    Tic tolk tic tolk tic tolk! Ghost are you curious?

  83. J.... S....

    Their is like over 100 comments about how Prince inspired this song.. Fuk! People how many more times you gotta keep saying over and over.. It's like beating a dead horse already.. Jeez!! Enough mofos!

    J.... S....

    Prince didn´t inspire that song. He simply created it...

    J.... S....

    @soo purple i don't give a fuk!

    J.... S....

    @Joel Silverman guess so, but who cares...?

    J.... S....

    @soo purple you obviously care otherwise you wouldn't be here talking to me right? So....

  84. b.... ....

    What does it all mean?

  85. A.... L....

    What happened to the music? This is the original version... I like the Time and space mix better

  86. s.... p....

    One of the stories that surfaced decades later was that Stevie Nicks based her song ‘Stand Back’ on the ‘1999’ track ‘Little Red Corvette’ and Prince plays uncredited on the Nicks track. “It is true,” says Michael. “My understanding is that she was driving up the Pacific Coast Highway with her new husband at the time and heard ‘Little Red Corvette’ on the radio. When she was in the studio making ‘The Wild Heart’ she called Prince and he came down and in real time created the track that became ‘Stand Back’. Stevie’s vocal was put on it and then he left. What you are hearing is Prince’s work as it happened. Below the synth track it is Prince playing it in real time. It is not a machine. It is actually Prince playing those things in real time in one take and then walking out the door”.

    s.... p....

    Are you for real soo purple?

  87. R.... B....

    35 years on, I still love this song!!

  88. L.... P....

    Tell Hezbollah to STAND BACK OR WE WILL PUSH THEM BACK...INTO THE SEA.

  89. L.... P....

    The opening to this musical gem from the Heart of the Ocean that IS the 1980s was lovingly written by the artist and ROCK ICON, PRINCE. His musical SIGNATURE to the intro is audibly obvious.

  90. G.... p....

    There's a LOT of great women in rock but I'd have to say Stevie is at the top of that list.

  91. t.... ....

    ..THE Queen..

  92. B.... D....

    Stevie is my muse.  This song is based on Stevie ~ there's a ghost in my room, too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW0fu8uzB-0
