You say 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, some things you can't explain away

But the heartache's in me till 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 tumblin' 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 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 must explain why thins must be

Did you lie when you spoke to me?



Did you stand by me
