Won't somebody stand, stand by me
I need, I need just somebody
Stand by me just one time
Stand by me just one time
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go, here I am
I don't understand
It burns in my heart, in the rain, in the dark
'Cause I'm not giving in until I've had enough
I've been this alone for so long
I'm not bending tonight
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go, so here I am
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go, here I am
Won't somebody stand by me
Won't somebody stand by me
But no one's gonna see me break down and cry
And I'm throwing down my one last hope, here I am
I'm beginning to wonder why
What's slipping through these hands
Stand be me just one time
And I'm throwing down my one last hope
Stand by me, stand, stand by me
I stand in one place, different name, different face
Lord, I don't understand
I don't understand
Well, if God's here tonight, are you here tonight?
Won't somebody stand by me
Maybe you could grab me up
But I'm twisted and turned and broken down
What's slipping through these hands
What's slipping through these hands
Stand by me just one time
Oh, I don't understand
Won't somebody stand, stand by me
Won't somebody stand by me
Stand by me just one time
Won't somebody stand by me
Won't somebody stand by me
What's slipping through these hands
Lord, stand me on my feet, give me strength and set me free
Stand by me just one time
You'd think by now I'd know when to let go, here I am
I'm starting to know the sound
Of nothing and no one and yet everything
Won't somebody stand by me
Well, this girl's gonna have her day
