Stanza 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

Stanza 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 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

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 your darkest hour

 And i'll never desert you

 I'll stand by you

Outro

 I'll stand by you

 I'll stand by you

 Won't let nobody hurt you
