Let me come along
Let me see you through
And I'll never desert you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
You're feelin' all alone
So, if you're mad, get mad
No, no, no, no, no
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

And I'll never desert you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Yeah
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
And don't know which path to choose
Won't let nobody hurt you
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
You don't know what to do

Hey, what you got to hide?
I'll stand by you

Nothin' you confess, could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
When you're standing at the crossroads
When the night falls on you

I get angry too

Take me in, into your darkest hour
Come on and come to me now

'Cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you

Well I'm a lot like you

You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

And when, when the night falls on you, baby
Don't hold it all inside
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Don't be ashamed to cry
Won't let nobody hurt you
Come on and talk to me now
Take me in, into your darkest hour
I'll stand by you
