[Verse 1]
You said 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well some things you can explain away
But the heartache's in me 'till this day

[Chorus 1]
You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You didn't stand by me
No way

[Verse 2]
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 around

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there's only one thing I can say
[Chorus 2]
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?

[Refrain]
Did you stand by me?
No, not at all

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

[Chorus 2]
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?
[Outro]
Stand by me
Stand by me
Stand by me
