You 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
 * Song Lyrics: **

Well some things you can't 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 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 is only one thing that I can say

CHORUS

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 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

CHORUS X 2

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  Created by: Daniel Masetti 6/2/10
