Well, I've been waitin' ever since eight 
Guess my baby's got another date 
Stood up, broken-hearted, again 

I'll bet she's out havin' a ball 
Not even thinkin' of me at all 
Stood up, broken-hearted, again 

Well, I know just what I oughta do 
I oughta find somebody new 
But, baby, I couldn't forget about you 
Stood up, broken-hearted, again 

Why must I always be the one 
Left behind never havin' any fun? 
Stood up, broken-hearted, again 

But I guess I'll go on bein' a fool 
Sittin' around just waitin' for you 
Stood up, broken-hearted, again 

Well, I know just what I oughta do 
I oughta find somebody new 
But, baby, I couldn't forget about you 
Stood up, broken-hearted, again 

Stood up, broken-hearted, again 
Stood up, broken-hearted, again
