Tell me something I don't understand
You said you love me oh, and that's a fact
And then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well there's some things you can't explain away
And this heartache's with me to this day
[Chorus:]
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
All the times that we were close,
I remember these things the most
I've seen 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
[Chorus:]
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
[Chorus:]
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
[Instrumental]
So explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me? hey
[Chorus:]
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
I got a job but it don't pay
I need new clothes,
Somewhere to stay
Hey, without these things I can do
But without your love
I can't make it through
But if you don't understand
My point of view
Then there's not a damn thing I can do
[Chorus:]
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way
[Chorus:]
Did you stand by me?
No not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way...
