You say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you loved me, and that's a fact
The you left me, said you felt trapped
Well, some things you can't explain away
But the heartache's with me till this day
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way
You must expla-a-a-ain why this must be
Did you li-i-i-ie when you spoke to me?
Did you stand be 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 nothing I can do
Chorus:
You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way
You must expla-a-a-ain why this must be
Did you li-i-i-ie when you spoke to me?
Did you stand be me? No, not at all
