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 trapped
Well some things you can explain away
But this heartache still remains this day
Did you stand by me
Oh oh
Did you 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 'round
So alone I keep the wolves at ba
Y
And there is only one thing I can say
Did you stand by me
Oh oh
Did you 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
Oh oh
Now 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 through
But you don't seem to see my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do
Did you stand by me
Oh oh
Did you 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
Oh oh
Did you stand by me
No way
