Text: Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Speed of Life. Stuck in the Middle.

They say, "Please, please"

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I get so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

There's clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Lose control, yeah, I'm all over the place

There's clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Oh well, you started off with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self made man, yeah, you are
And your friends, they all come calling
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"
Come on

Well, I'm trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore

There's clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Well, you started out with nothing
And you're proud that you're a self made man
But and your friends, they all come calling
Slap you on the back and say, "Please, please"

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
Well, I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right, here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
One more time, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you
