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
Youve 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 Im sure of
I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me
And Ill give all the love in my heart
Stand beside me
Be true, dont tell lies to me
Im not lookin for a fantasy
I want a man who stands beside me
I didnt expect to see him, one hot July morning
His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue
He said, 'Ive 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 want to hold me, not own me
And Ill give all the love in my heart'
Oh, its hard to tell him, 'No'
When I want him so bad
But Ive got to be true to my heart
This time
Im 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
