[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

[Bridge]
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

[Chorus]
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 you darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
