You say you stand by your man 

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 till this day



[Chorus]

Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you stand by me

No way



All the times

When we were close

I'll remember these things the most

I can't be happy without you around



So all alone I keep the wolves at bay

And there is only one thing that I can say



Did you stand by me

No, not at all

Did you 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

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



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



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
