You said you stand by your man Tell me something I don't understand You said you loved me and that's a fact And then you left me, said you felt trapped Well somethings you can explain away But the heartache's in me 'til these days You didn't stand by me (no) No, not at all You didn't stand by me (no) No way All the times When we were close I'll remember these things the most I see all my dreams come tumbling down I can't be happy without you around So alone I keep the wolves at bay And there's only one thing I can say You didn't stand by me (no) No, not at all You didn't stand by me (no) No way You must explain why this must be Did you lie (why did you lie!) When you spoke to me Did you stand by me No, not at all Now I got a job But it don't pay I need new clothes I need somewhere to stay But without all of these things I can do But without your love, I won't make it through But you don't understand my point of view I suppose there's nothing I can do You didn't stand by me (no) No, not at all You didn't stand by me (no) No way You didn't stand by me (no) No, not at all You didn't stand by me (no way) No way You must explain why this must be Did you lie (why did you lie?) When you spoke to me? Stand by me Stand by me
