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

Well somethings you can explain away
But the heartache's in me 'till these days

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 tumbling 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 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 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 must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me

Did you stand by me

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