Oh, why you look so sad?    The tears are in your eyes    Come on and come to me now    Don't, be ashamed to cry    Let me see you through    'Cause I've seen a dark side too       When the night falls on you    You don't know what to do    Nothing you confess    Could make me love you less       I'll stand by you    I'll stand by you    I won't let nobody hurt you    I'll stand by you       So, if you're mad get mad    Don't hold it all inside    Come on and talk to me now    Hey, what you got to hide?    I get angry too    Well, I'm a lot like you       When you're standin' at the crossroads    And don't know which path to choose    Let me come along    'Cause even if you're wrong       I'll stand by you    I'll stand by you    I won't let nobody hurt you    I'll stand by you    Take me in into your darkest hour    And I'll never desert you    I'll stand by you       And when, when the night falls on you, baby    You're feelin' all alone    You won't be on your own       I'll stand by you    I'll stand by you    I won't let nobody hurt you    I'll stand by you    Take me in into your darkest hour    And I'll never desert you    I'll stand by you       Oh, I'll stand by you    I'll stand by you
