Lyrics:

(Jones/Strummer)

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

Well,somethings you can explain away
But the heartache's with 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
That we were close
I remember
These things the most
I've seen 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

(*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


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
