Say you stand by your man=20
Tell me something I don't understand=20
You said you love me and that's a fact=20
Then you left me, said you felt trapped=20
Well some things you can explain away=20
But my heartache's in me till this day=20
Did you stand by me=20
No, not at all=20
Did you stand by me=20
No way=20
All the times=20
When we were close=20

No, not at all=20
Did you stand by me=20
No way=20
