Lyrics
People, I was standing at my window
Reflecting on a situation while standing at the window.
Tears running all down my cheeks
Expressing deep sadness with tears streaming down the cheeks.
Yes, standing at my window
Continuing to stand at the window, possibly in contemplation.
Tears running all down my cheeks
Reiteration of the emotional state with tears flowing.
Well, I could see the woman I'm loving
Observing a loved woman captivating everyone she encounters.
Stopping everyone in the world she meets
Describing the charisma of the beloved woman.
Well, standing on the corner
Being at a specific street corner, possibly recalling a significant place.
Between 35th and Main
Detailing the location between 35th and Main.
Well, standing on the corner, people
Repetition of standing on the corner, emphasizing a significant spot.
Between 35th and Main
Reiteration of the specific location.
Yeah, that's where a blind man's seen my woman
Noting that a blind man witnessed his woman at that corner.
People, a dumb man called her name
A dumb man calling the woman's name, adding intrigue.
Well, all right
An expression of affirmation or agreement.
Well, all right
Repetition of affirmation for emphasis.
He said, "Oh, I'm blind
Quoting the blind man acknowledging the positive impact of the woman.
You brought eyesight and you made me see"
Stating that the woman brought eyesight and clarity to the blind man.
"Oh yes, I'm blind
Repeating the acknowledgment of the woman's transformative effect.
You brought eyesight and made me see"
Emphasizing that the woman brought insight to the blind man.
Yes, and the dumb man asked a question
Introducing a question from a dumb man about the woman's partner.
"Woman, who may your good man be?"
Quoting the dumb man inquiring about the woman's good man.
Yes, I'm standing by trembling, people
Expressing a trembling emotional state while witnessing the scene.
People, my heart's laying in my hand
Describing a profound emotional experience with the heart metaphorically in hand.
Oh, I'm standing by trembling, darling
Reiterating the emotional state of standing trembling with the heart exposed.
With my heart laying in my hand
Emphasizing the vulnerability with the heart in hand.
Well, I could hear my baby say
Hearing the beloved affirming the absence of a man in her life.
"Lord, I ain't got no man"
Quoting the beloved expressing a lack of a man in her life.
