Are you gonna stand by me, or are you gonna fall for her?
Are you gonna stand by me, or are you gonna fall for her?
One lesson life has taught me well
Is that time, time always tells
If you don't stand for something
You're bound to fall for anything, ooh-ooh, yeah
So if you bow to playing the field
And to one woman you won't yield
Your happiness will be short-lived
'Cause your real love you never give
Ooh-ooh
Are you gonna stand by me, or are you gonna fall for her?
Are you gonna stand by me, or baby will you fall for her?
Some women, they play harder than men
How they fake love, how they pretend
They're takin' up my precious space
'Causin' my love to go to waste, ooh-ooh
And the pathway to their door
Leads to the apples rotten core
Baby, won't you, wont you let your choice be me
My love is real, you'll see, ooh-ooh
Are you gonna stand by me, or are you gonna fall for her?
♪
I'm depending on you, hey, hey
Are you gonna stand by me, or are you gonna fall for her?
Are you gonna stand by me, or baby will you fall for her?
I'm the one who loves ya
Don't leave me, not for her
Oh, she might be pretty, she might be from the big city
Oh, but my love is one of a kind
Baby, say you're gonna be mine
'Cause I need ya
I need ya
I need, I need, I need
I need, I need ya, yeah
Don't leave me for her
You'll regret it till you're dying
Baby treat me that way
