Somebody Stand by Me

I stood at the door

And watched while you drove away

Driving my car in the rain, in the dark

Well, every dog seems to have her day

I've been in this, alone so long

And I'm beginning to wonder why I stand in one place

A different name, a different face

No one's gonna see me cry

I need someone to stand by me

Stand by me, just one time

I hope somebody stands by me

Stands by me, just one time

I don't understand

It's slipping through these hands

I think by now I'd know

Where to let go

All I know is here I am, baby

Won't you stand by me?

I'm not bending tonight

But, I'm twisted and turned and broken down

But I'm starting to know the sound

Of something, no one, and yet everything

Well, if God's here tonight

Are you here tonight?

Maybe you could grab me up

Stand me on my feet

Give me strength

Set me free

I'm not giving in till

I've had enough

I need someone to stand by me

Stand by me, just one time

Won't somebody stands by me

Stands by me, just one time?

I don't understand

It's slipping through my hands

You think by now I would know

Where to let go

But all I know is here I am baby

Stand by me?

I need someone to stand by me

Stand by me, just one time

Won't somebody stands by me

Stands by me, just one time?

I don't understand

It's slipping through these hands

I think by now I'd know

How to let go

But all I know is here I am

Stand by me

Here I am, baby

Stand by me

All I know is here I am baby

Stand by me
