I'll stand by you....

For all of you who have been there for me...  For those who have no one with whom to stand....I'll stand by you.

The Pretenders, I'll stand by you...

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, and you don't know what to do.  Nothin' 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.

For all my loves...those I've just met...those who know me well and are my circle of support...those I've known from their first breath....I'll stand by you.  Always.  No matter what.  No matter how far you may think I am.  I am here...always...for you.

Love -c
