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 begining to wonder why

I stand in one place a different name -- a different face

No one's gonna see me cry

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

I think by now I know when to let go

All I know is here I am baby

Won't you stand by me?

I'm not bending tonight

But I'm twisted and turned and broken down

But Im 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 till I've had enough
