Lyrics of
Stuck In The Middle With You

Stuck in the Middle With You was created by the band Stealers Wheel, formed by Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan. The song is notably known for its association with a scene from Quentin Tarantinos film Reservoir Dogs. The inspiration for the songs lyrics came as a satirical response to the music industry and the cliché of rock stardom at the time.

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you
And I'm wondering what it is I should do
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place

Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

Well, you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man
And your friends, they all come crawlin', slap you on the back and say,
Please Please

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see that it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.


Well, you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man
And your friends, they all come crawlin', slap you on the back and say,
Please Please

Well, I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.
Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you,
Stuck in the middle with you.
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
