Well, I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right 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 And I'm wondering what it is I should do It's so hard to keep the smile from my face Lose control and 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 nothing And you're proud that you're a self-made man And your friends, they all come running And grab you on the back and say, "Please, please" And I tried 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 don't 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 nothing And you're proud that you're a self-made man And your friends, they all come crawling And slap you on the back and say, "Please, please" Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you Here I am, stuck in the middle with you Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you Here I am, stuck in the middle with you Oh, here I am Don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right 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
