I'll stand by you

The pretenders

Lyrics

Oh, why you look so   ?
Tears are in your  
Come on and come to me  
Don't be   to cry
Let me see you  
'cause I've seen the dark   too
When the   falls on you
You don't   what to do
Nothing you  
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all  
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to   ?
I get   too
Well I'm a lot   you
When you're standing at the  
And don't know which   to choose
Let me come  
'cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your  

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never   you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
