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 heartaches in me feel this pain

★ 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 remember
These times 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 at bay
And there's only one thing I can say

★ Repeat

★★ 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 someone to stay
But without all of these things
I can do
But without all 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

★ Repeat 2 times
★★ Repeat

Did you stand by me

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
