Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday 

I've got a lot of things to learn

Said I would and I believe in one day 

Before my heart starts to burn



So what's the matter with you?

Sing me something new...Don't you know 

The cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go away



Times are hard when things have got no meaning

I've found a key upon the floor

Maybe you and I will not believe in 

The things we find behind the door



So what's the matter with you?

Sing me something new...Don't you know 

The cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go away



Stand by me -- nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me -- nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me -- nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me -- nobody knows, yeah nobody knows

The way it's gonna be



If you're leaving will you take me with you

I'm tired of talking on my phone

There is one thing I can never give you

My heart can never be your home



So what's the matter with you?

Sing me something new...Don't you know 

The cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go away



Stand by me -- nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me -- nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me -- nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me -- nobody knows, yeah nobody knows

The way it's gonna be

The way it's gonna be



Maybe I can see

Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go away



Stand by me -- nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me -- nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me -- nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me -- nobody knows, yeah God only knows

The way it's gonna be
