Man in the Middle Lyrics
You've got a plan that could never go wrong
You took advantage and the damage done
It all comes back to me baby
It all comes back to me
I played the fool and I went off the track
And when I think of all it cost
When the die was cast
You know I had to be crazy
You know I had to be
I've been telling lies
And you forgive me but my heart still cries
And you can understand
I'm just the man in the middle
Of a complicated plan
No one to show me the signs
I'm just a creature of habit
In a complicated world
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
I know I let you down in so many ways
I know that sorry doesn't tell you
What you need me to say
But, I would die for you baby
Yes, I would die for you
I've been in disguise
And you forgive me and our love will rise
And you can understand
I'm just the man in the middle
Of a complicated plan
No one to show me the light
Ah,yes, I'm weary from battle
But I've just begun to fight
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
I'm just the man in the middle
Of a complicated plan
No one to show me the signs
I'm just a creature of habit
In a complicated world
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
I'm just the man in the middle
Of a complicated plan
No one to show me the light
Ah, yes, I'm weary from battle
But I've just begun to fight
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
I'm just the man in the middle
The only man
The fool of a man in the middle
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
I'm just the man
The only man
That stupid man
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
You took advantage and the damage done
It all comes back to me baby
It all comes back to me
And when I think of all it cost
When the die was cast
You know I had to be crazy
You know I had to be
And you forgive me but my heart still cries
And you can understand
Of a complicated plan
No one to show me the signs
I'm just a creature of habit
In a complicated world
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
I know that sorry doesn't tell you
What you need me to say
But, I would die for you baby
Yes, I would die for you
And you forgive me and our love will rise
And you can understand
Of a complicated plan
No one to show me the light
Ah,yes, I'm weary from battle
But I've just begun to fight
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
Of a complicated plan
No one to show me the signs
I'm just a creature of habit
In a complicated world
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
Of a complicated plan
No one to show me the light
Ah, yes, I'm weary from battle
But I've just begun to fight
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
The only man
The fool of a man in the middle
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide
The only man
That stupid man
Nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide

Since Maurice is singing on this Bee Gees Song, I am thinking that it might really be a Song about being a part of the Group's trio, and being caught in the middle between Barry and Robin, and having to be the mediator in conflict. Robin said in an interview that he and Barry had both quit the group , but that Morris had never done so.
Cont... " the complicated plan" is trying to hold the group together through all the fussing and feuding. I think they brought us some great music. I am forever grateful that they did keep it together.
Maurice Gibbs did an interview and talked About his problem with alcohol. He attended AA meetings regularly. The part where he says I’m sorry isn’t what You need to hear for me,but I would give my life for you baby. Song says he’s been telling lies, he talked about hiding his alcohol everywhere. He was trapped by the alcohol and could not perform, didn’t play music on stage for a while, They had to replace his vocals and music they were worried about him performing me on stage. Also , I really believe this song is written to his wife. He could not escape the grips of alcoholism, it was running the nowhere to hide as it says in the song. I think this song It’s from the heart about dealing with alcohol not only did he let his wife and kids down but he let his brothers down
