[Verse 1] You say you stand by your man So 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 'til this day [Chorus] 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'll remember these things the most I see all my dreams come tumblin' 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 [Chorus] 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? 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 (Chorus x2) 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 (x2)
