I stood at the door
And watched while you
drove away
Drivin' my car
in the rain in the dark
Well every dog seems to
have her day
I've been in this alone so long
And I'm beginnin' to
wonder why
I stand in one place
A different name
A different face
No one's gonna see me cry
I need someone to
stand by me
Stand by me just one time
I hope somebody
stands by me
Stands by me just one time
I don't understand
It's slippin' through
these hands
I think by now I'd know
when to let go
All I know is here I am baby
Won't you stand by me
I'm not bending tonight
But I'm twisted
And turned and broken down
And I'm starting
to know the sound
of somethin'
No one and yet everything
Well if God is here tonight
Are you here tonight
Maybe you could grab me up
Stand me on my feet
Give me strength
Set me free
I'm not givin' in
'til I've had enough
I need someone to
stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Oh won't somebody
stand by me
Stand by me just one time
I don't understand
It's slippin' through my hands
I think by now I would know
when to let go
But all I know is here I am baby
Stand by me
I need someone to
stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
I don't understand
It's slippin' through
these hands
I think by now I'd know
how to let go
All I know is here I am
Stand by me
Here I am baby
Stand by me
All I know is here I am baby
Stand by me
