They 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 explain away
But the heartache's with me till this day
Did you stand by me?
No, not at all.
Did you stand by me?
No way.
All the times that we were close
I remember these things the most
I've seen all my dreams come tumblin' down
I can't be happy without you around
So alone I keep the wolves a 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 these things I can do
Without your love (- LOVE!) I won't make it through
(Without you 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 must explain
Why this must be
Did you lie
When you spoke to me?
Stand by me, no way
Stand by me, not at all
Stand by me, no way
Stand by me, not at all
Stand by me, no way
