Stand Beside Me

He left me cryin' late one Sunday night
 Outside of Boulder
 He 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
 
 I ended up south of Memphis
 Workin' down in Riverside
 I may not be so lucky in love
 But the one thing I'm sure of
 I want a man that stands beside me
 Not in front of or behind me
 Give me two arms that wanna 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 who stands 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 that stands beside me
 Not in front of or behind me
 Give me two arms that wanna hold me
 Not own me
 And I'll give all the love in my heart
 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
 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
