Stone Roses - Standing Here lyrics

She grew up without very much

She didn't know who her father was

She met a boy and her heart he stole

So she gave him all her body and her sole

She's not ready to face

The outcome of their mistake

It's brought her nothing but pain

And she's too young for this fate

She's alone

Caught up in the undertow

Where it takes her no one knows

That's how it goes

That's how it goes

When we throw stones

People denied and criticized

They sent her away isolated

Caught in a bad dream, her plea rejected

They left her alone and neglected

They put her out on display

Showcasing all her mistakes

She's worn out and she's afraid.

Why does it always happen this way?

She's alone

Caught up in the undertow

Where it takes her no one knows

That's how it goes

That's how it goes

When we throw stones

She went to them for help

But blindly they cast the first stone

The could have taken her in

Instead they left her on her own

All alone

She's alone

Caught up in the undertow

Where it takes her no one knows

That's how it goes

That's how it goes

She's alone

Caught up in the undertow

Where it takes her no one knows

That's how it goes

That's how it goes (That's how it goes)

She's alone

Caught up in the undertow

Where it takes her no one knows

That's how it goes

That's how it goes

When we throw stones at the wounded

We throw stones at the brokenhearted

When we throw stones at the wounded

That's how it goes

That's how it goes

That's how it goes when we throw stones

We throw stones

When we throw stones

At the wounded

Yeah, that's how it goes

When we throw stones
