Lyrics:

(jones/strummer)


They 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


Well,somethings you can explain away

But the heartache's with me till this day


*did you stand by me

No,not at all

Did you stand by me

No way


All the times

That we were closed

I remember

These things the most

I've seen all our dreams

Come tumblin' down

I can't stay happy

Without you around


So alone I keep the wolves a bay

And there's only one thing I can say


(*repeat)

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

Without you love I won't make it through


But you don't understand my point of view

I suppose there's nothing I can do


(*repeat x2)


Stand by me,no way

Stand by me,not at all

Stand by me,no way

Stand by me,not at all

Stand by me,no way
