You say you stand by your man Tell me something I don't understand You said you love me and that's a fact And then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away But the heartache's in me 'til this day

You didn't stand by me No, not at all You didn't stand by me 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, not at all You didn't stand by me No way

You must explain why this must be 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, not at all You didn't stand by me No way

You didn't stand by me No, not at all You didn't stand by me No way

You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me

Did you stand by me? No, not at all Did you stand by me? No way Did you stand by me? No, not at all Did you stand by me? No way
