Lyrics Annie Lennox

Annie Lennox

Train in Vain

They say you stand by your man

Tell me something I don't understand

You said you loved me and that's a fact

And then you left me said you felt trapped

Well, some things you can explain away

But the heartache's with me till this day

Did you stand by me?

No, not at all.

Did you stand by me?

No way.

All the times that we were close

I remember these things the most

I've seen all my dreams come tumblin' down

I can't be happy without you around

So alone I keep the wolves a bay

And there's only one thing I can say

You didn't stand by me

No, not at all.

You didn't stand by me

No way.

You must explain

Why this must be

Did you lie

When you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me?

No, not at all.

Now I got a job but it don't pay

I need new clothes I need somewhere to stay

But without all these things I can do

Without your love (- LOVE!) I won't make it through

(Without you love I won't make it through)

But you don't understand my point of view

I suppose there's nothing I can do

(You) didn't stand by me

No, not at all.

You didn't stand by me

No way.

You must explain

Why this must be

Did you lie

When you spoke to me?

Stand by me, no way

Stand by me, not at all

Stand by me, no way

Stand by me, not at all

Stand by me, no way
