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 my heartache's in me till this day



CHORUS

You didn't you 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 won't be happy without you round



So all alone I keep the wolves at bay

and there is only one thing that I can't say



CHORUS



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



CHORUS



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
