Oh, why you look so sad?

Tears are in your eyes


Come on and come to me now


Don't be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through


'cause I've seen the dark side too


When the night falls on you

You don't know what to do


Nothing you confess


Could make me love you less




I'll stand by you


I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you


I'll stand by you




So if you're mad, get mad


Don't hold it all inside


Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?


I get angry too


Well I'm a lot like you

When you're standing at the crossroads


And don't know which path to choose


Let me come along

'cause even if you're wrong





I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you


Won't let nobody hurt you


I'll stand by you

Take me in, into your darkest hour


And I'll never desert you


I'll stand by you




And when...


When the night falls on you, baby

You're feeling all alone


You won't be on your own




I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you




I'll stand by you


Take me in, into your darkest hour

And I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you


I'll stand by you

Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you


Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
