They 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 explain away  
But the heartache's with me till this day  
 
Did you stand by me?  
No, not at all.  
Did you stand by me? 
No way. 
 
All the times that we were close  
I remember these things 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 a bay  
And there's only one thing I can say  
 
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? 
 
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 these things I can do 
Without your love (- LOVE!) I won't make it through 
(Without you love I won't make it through)  
But you don't understand my point of view  
I suppose there's nothing I can do  
 
(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? 
 
Stand by me, no way 
Stand by me, not at all  
Stand by me, no way  
Stand by me, not at all  
Stand by me, no way
