Lyrics:

I know you mean to help when you're giving me advice
But don't you realize that you can't live my life
I've got to get me up and fly
I can't breathe down here
And if I crash keep standing by
I'm just gettin' into gear

Stand by me
You don't need to say a word
If I stumble or I fall
Or I can't see the writing on the wall
Please don't say nothing at all
Just stand by me
Just stand by me

Don't tell me about how I'm doing right or wrong
I don't need no advice on how to sing my song
I've got to find my own way
And do my own thing
And if you wanna be my friend
Let me push my own swing

Stand by me
You don't need to say a word
If I stumble or I fall
Or I can't see the writing on the wall
Please don't say nothing at all
Just stand by me
Just stand by me
