Intro

Verse

 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

Prechorus

 When the night falls on you

 You don't know what to do

 Nothin' 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

 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

2nd Prechorus:

 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

Bridge

 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 feelin' all alone

 You won't be on your own

Chours to end ~~

 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
