about

Yeah, guys... we've all been there. Condemned to watch...

lyrics

Man in the Middle
(Winters, Sherman)

There's that sound in your voice
Telling me I got no choice
I'm gonna listen
And as your sad story unwinds
It just reminds me of what I'm missing

It's torture for me if I can never be
Any more than the one that you lean on
And when it comes to an end
I guess I'll be the good friend... again

When you call me over in the middle of the night
Cry on my shoulder could I make it right
Strung out on the lies
Where do you find these guys
If I could act that way
Turn around and push you away
Would you fall in love with me
Cause I don't wanna be the man in the middle

Like some bad TV show
Telling me more than I want to know
But I can't turn away
Even when it gets rerun
I keep watching while it comes undone
There's nothing I can say

It's a ratings game, puts us all to shame
I wonder why
You think nice guys are always lame
It's a tragedy, a situation comedy
For you and me

When you call me over
In the middle of the night...

Girl this show could use a lift
Why don't we rewrite the script
What have you got to lose
Or do you think that any man
Who can give you all he can
Is just too good for you

It's torture for me if I can never be
Any more than the one that you lean on
It's black comedy, a goddamn tragedy
For you and me
