Tekstovi: Messina Jo Dee. Stand Beside Me.

He left me cryin', late one Sunday night

Outside of Boulder.

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.

Ended up just south of Memphis,

workin' down in Riverside.

I may not be so lucky in love,

but the one thing I'm sure of is



Chorus:

I want a man to Stand 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 to Stand Beside Me.



I didn't expect to see him

One hot July mornin'.


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 to Stand 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 to Stand Beside Me.



Oh, 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

Oooooh

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........
