I'll Stand By You

By the Pretenders

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 

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 
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 
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 

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 
Won't let nobody hurt you 
I'll stand by you
