Arthur Alexander - In The Middle Of It All lyrics

My house is a lonely house (lonely house) But it was, was a happy house (happy house) And the two of us were happy as I recall (as I recall) But now the rain falls around it And loneliness surrounds it And I'm in the middle of it all My friends look at me and say (me and say) I wonder what made that boy that way (that way) The boy doesn't even smile at all (smile at all) But I wonder what they would say If their world just came down one day And they were in the middle of it all I gave that girl all the love that I had, had to give And the love that I gave her was real now, really real Now I ache, yeah, with heartbreak and pain (heartbreak and pain) And a hurt that I just can't explain Yes, it looks like my life is about to fall (about to fall) But, I built a shield around it But sadness has found it And me, I'm in the middle of it all I will sit right here in the middle
