[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
You'd think by now I know where to lеt go
All I know is here I am, baby
Won't you stand by me?

[Verse 2]
I'm not bеnding tonight
But I'm twisted and turned and broken down (Broken down)
But I'm starting to know the sound
Of something, no one, and yet everything
Well, if God is 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 'til I've had enough
[Chorus]
I need someone to stand by me
Stand by me, just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me, just one time?
I don't understand
It's slipping through my hands
You'd 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 stand by me
Stand by me, just one time?
I don't understand
It's slipping through these hands
You'd think by now I 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
