I’m in Line Lyrics

I don't want to wait in line for you
Darling, you'll know that's what I'll do

The girls are pretty
The girls are many
Ah, but your heart is empty
No one's filling up for you

I'm in line for you, my darling
Yeah, yeah

In the morning when I rise I see
Another girl in line ahead of me
Oh, what advantage with the way you do me
When you walk by and when you get round to me
Yeah, take a look at me

I'm in line for you, my darling
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, I'm in line

I don't want to waste my time
Waiting for some guy to change his mind
You don't ever notice
Standing in the shadows
And I can't tell you why
I'm in line for you, my darling
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, I'm in line

I'm in line, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
