Oh, why you look so sad,
The tears are in your eyes,
Come on and come to me now.
And 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.
And 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.
'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.
