intro - 4 bars
verse 1
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.
verse 2
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 this smile from my face,
Lose 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 out with nothing,
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.....

verse 3
Trying 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 any more.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

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