You're Standing By - Manfred Mann

oh i want all your friends around girl

i work to put you down girl

and laughed to see you cry

and yet you’re standing by i tried to make it clear girl

that i don’t want you near girl

the price is much to high

oh yet you’re standing by and i try to go home, try to go home, try to go home, try to go home,

try to go home without you

i guess i don’t make my mind girl

but i always known that i wind up loving you

this hurting don’t make sense girl

i want to say the best is just a pretense girl

oh now i don’t need to lie

and i’m so glad that you’re standing by yes, yes, i’m so glad that you’re standing by girl

yes, yes, i want to tell the world that i’m so proud you’re mine girl

oh no i won’t cry no more

i don’t have to be a fool in life no more
