Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight. I got the feeling that somethin’ ain’t right.
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair and I’m wonderin’ 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 and I’m wonderin’ what it is I should do.
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face losing c’trol, yeah, I’m all over the place.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Well, you started out with nothin’ and you’re proud that you’re a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin’, slap you on the back and say please, please.
Trying to make some sense of it all but I can see that it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor? ‘Cause I d’n’ think that I can take anymore.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Well, you started out with nothin’ and you’re proud that you’re a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin’, slap you on the back and say please, please.
And I don’t know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that somethin’ ain’t right.
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair and I’m wonderin’ 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. Stuck in the middle with you.
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
