[Verse 1]
You say you stand by your man
So tell me something I don’t understand
You said you love 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 in me ’til this day
[Chorus]
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 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
[Bridge]
You must explain
Why this must be
Did you lie
When you spoke to me?
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
But you don’t understand my point of view
I suppose there’s nothing I can do
[Chorus]
You didn’t stand by me
No, not at all
You didn’t stand by me
No way
[Bridge]
You must explain
Why this must be
Did you lie
When you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me?
