You say you stand by your man
So tell me something I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trappedWell some things you can explain away
But this heartache still remains this dayDid you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No wayAll 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 aroundSo alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there is only one thing I can sayDid you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No wayYou must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to meDid you stand by meNow I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things I can do
But without your love I won't make it throughBut you don't seem to see my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can doDid you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No wayYou 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 way
