Stand Beside Me

He left me crying late one sunday night
Outside a border
He said he
Had to find himself
Out on the road
I guess when love goes wrong
You 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 exspect 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, its hard to,
Tell him no when I want him so bad
But I've go to be true to my heart
This time

Ooh, ooh
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
Ah,ho-ou-oh
Stand beside me
Ah, ho-ou-oh
