He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder
|
He said he had to find himself out on the road
|
I guess when love goes wrong
|
You've gotta learn to be strong
|
|
So I worked two jobs and I moved three times
|
I ended up south of Memphis workin' down in Riverside
|
I may not be so lucky in love
|
But the one thing I'm sure of
|
|
I want a man that stands beside me
|
Not in front of or behind me
|
Give me two arms that want to hold me not own me
|
And I'll give all the love in my heart
|
Stand beside me
|
Be true don't tell lies to me
|
I'm not lookin' for a fantasy
|
I want a man that who stands beside me
|
|
I didn't expect to see him one hot July morning
|
His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue
|
He said, I've missed you for so long. Oh baby, what can I do
|
I said, I want a man that stands beside me
|
Not in front of or behind me
|
Give me two arms that want to hold me not own me
|
And I'll give all the love in my heart
|
|
It's hard to tell him no when I want him so bad
|
But I've got to be true to my heart This time
|
|
I'm not lookin' for a fantasy
|
I want a man who stands beside me
|
I want a man
|
Who stands beside me
|
Stand beside me
|
Stand beside me
|
|

Stand Beside Me
