Stealers Wheel Stuck in the Middle with you Lyrics:
Well, I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feelin' 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 wonde'in' what it is I should do.
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losin' control, 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 off 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."
Tryin' 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?
Well, I don't think I can take anymore.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
[Instrumental break.]
Well, you started out with nothin',
And you're proud that you're a self-made man.
And your friends they all come crawlin',

And I'm wonderin' how I'll get down the stairs,

Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you.
Stuck in the middle with you.
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

[4] Before Quentin Tarantino used it on the soundtrack of Reservoir Dogs, "Stuck
in the Middle With You" was a nearly forgotten pop-folk artifact of the early
'70s. After Reservoir Dogs revolutionized indie film in the '90s, the song was
viewed as a rock standard.
