[Joe Strummer]
"ooooooh, ooooooh, oooooh"

[Verse 1]
You say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can explain away
But the heartache's in me 'til this day

[Chorus]
You said you'd stand by me
No, not at all
You said you'd stand by me
No way
What did you say?
Said you'd stand by me
What did you say?
No way

[Verse 2]
And all the times when we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumblin' down
I can't be happy without you 'round
So alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there's only one thing I can say
[Chorus]
You didn't stand by me
No, not at all
You said you'd stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me? I need you back
Said you stand by me
No way

[Bridge]
You must explain
Why this must be
Did you lie
When you spoke to me?
You said you'd stand by me

[Verse 3]
So I got a job, but it don't pay
I need new clothes, I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things I can do
But without your love, I won't make it through
You don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

[Chorus]
You said you'd stand by me
What did you say?
No way
I heard you right
What did you say?
No way
[Verse 4]
You must explain
Why this must be
Did you lie
When you spoke to me?

[Outro]
You said you'd stand by me
No not at all
You said you'd stand by me
No way
What did you say?
Said you'd stand by me
No way
Said you'd stand by me
What did you say?
Said you'd stand by me
No way
Said you'd stand by me
