You say you stand by your man   Tell me something I don't understand   You said you loved me and that's a fact   But then you left me, said you felt trapped   Well some things you can't explain away   But the heartache's in me till this day   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 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   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?   You didn't stand by me   No not at all      Now I got a job and 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   You didn't stand by me   No not at all   You didn't stand by me   No way   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?   You didn't stand by me   No not at all      You didn't stand by me   No not at all   You didn't stand by me   No way
