Irma Thomas - In the Middle of It All Lyrics

Irma Tomas
In the middle of it all

My house is a lonely house
And it once was a happy house
And the two of us we were so happy
As I recall

But now the rain falls around it
And loneliness surrounds it
And I I'm in the middle of it all

My friends look at me and say
I wonder what made the girl that way
the girl doesn't even smile at all
but I wondered what my friends would say
if there world just came down one day
and they were in the middle of it all

I gave that guy all the love
that I had had to give
And the love that I gave him
Was really really real

Now I ache with heartbreak and pain
And the hurt that I just cant explain
It looks like my life is about to fall

But I built a shield around it
But sadness has found it
And I'm in the middle of it all
