Here comes 'johnny come lately'
A dozen roses in his hand
Just to show me that he cares for me,
He's doing everything he can.
He wants to wrap his arms around me
And i'm flattered that he does
But he don't stand a chance,
And that's because…

[chorus]

I'm in the middle of something
A little busy right now,
Tied up in something that i don't want out of
And i like this way
So heres a metaphor for how i feel inside
My heart is a door that reads occupied
From beginning to end,
I'm in the middle of something

Well i used to be lonely,
I heard no knocking on my door
Well i was looking for somebody.
When it rains it really pours
(rain, rain go away, come again some other day)
Now that i'm in love the guys are lined up down the hall
But i just walk on by,
And tell them all, hey,

[chorus]

I'm in the middle of something
A little busy right now,
Tied up in something that i don't want out of
And i like this way
So heres a metaphor for how i feel inside
My heart is a door that reads occupied
From beginning to end,
I'm in the middle of something

Right smack dab,
In the middle of love
I'm sitting right dead center
In between the place where two hearts touch
But i'm alright, cause that's right where i am
I'm in the middle of something,
Oh, oh, in the middle
Oh, yeah
I'm in the middle of something
A little busy right now
I like it, i like it this way
A little busy right now,
Tied up in something i don't want out of
And i like it this way
So heres a metaphor for how i feel inside
My heart is a door that reads occupied
From beginning to end,
I'm in the middle of something
Middle of something,
In the middle of something
Yeah, in the middle of something
Right smack dab in the middle,
Somewhere, somewhere,
Boy, boy, yeah you
I'm in the middle of something,
I like it this way
Boy, boy, yeah you
I'm in the middle of something
I like it this way
Dab in the middle,
In the middle of something
