Standin' In My Light (2024 Remaster) Songtext
von Ian Hunter

Well, I finally found you out
All through your mess of dreams
You won′t make it to the night
And you're standin′ in my light

You know you've been bad for me
You ain't got the weight to hate
But you ain′t no pretty sight
And you′re standin' in my light

Move over ′cause you're standin′ in my light
Move over 'cause you′re standin' in my light
Move over 'cause you′re standin′ in my light, yeah
Move over 'cause you′re standin' in my light

Now when your old man beats the drums
Gotta run, run, run, that′s dumb
A little less ego, little more fight
Move over 'cause you′re standin' in my light


Things go bad and the risks get high
Sweeping dead bodies 'cross an open sky
You took my pictures from your walls
Ain′t gonna trade with the pain of the New York Dolls

Move over ′cause you're standin′ in my
Move over 'cause you′re standin' in my
Move over ′cause you're standin' in my light

Move over ′cause you′re standin' in my light
Move over ′cause you're standin′ in my light
Move over 'cause you′re standin' in my light

Move over 'cause you′re standin′ in my light
Move over 'cause you′re standin' in my light
Move over ′cause you're standin′ in my light, yeah, alright
Move over 'cause you're standin′ in my light

I wish you luck on your very last chance
′Cause I know you blew it at the song and dance
You froze my feelings but that's alright
And you′re standin' in my light
