Stand By Me
Andy & BON JOVI Lyrics

You're not the type
You don't fit the mold of someone who would stay with a guy who's too shy to express his love.

Type of girl to remain
A girl who will stay in a relationship no matter what.

With the guy, with the guy too shy
With a guy who's too nervous to show his emotions.

Too afraid to say, he'll give his heart to you forever
Too scared to tell you that he's committed to you for life.

I'm not the boy that will fall to his knees
I won't beg for your love and affection.

With his hands clenched tight
Desperate to keep you by his side.

Begging, begging you please
Pleading with you to stay with him.

To stay with him for worse and for better
To commit to staying by his side through the good and the bad.

But I'm staring at you now
Looking deeply into your eyes at this moment.

There's no one else around
No distractions, just the two of us.

I'm thinking you're the girl for me
Believing that you're the one I've been searching for.

I'm just saying it's fine by me
Expressing that I'm content with however things turn out.

If you never leave
If you choose to stay with me forever.

And we can live like this forever
Our love can last a lifetime.

In the past I would try
I used to make an effort.

Try hard to commit to a girl
Put forth a lot of effort to commit to one person.

Wouldn't get too far
But it didn't work out.

And it always somehow seemed to fall apart
The relationship always ended badly.

Who are you, you, you
I'm curious about who you are as a person.

I can see what I need
I recognize what qualities I'm looking for in a partner.

I can dream realistically
I can see a future with you that is both grounded in reality yet hopeful.

I knew that this was different from the start
I sensed early on that our relationship would be unique.

And it seems that every time
Whenever we interact.

We're eye to eye
When we look at each other.

I can find another piece of you
I discover another great quality about you.

That I don't wanna lose
Something about you that I don't want to let go of.

And I'm staring at you now
Looking into your eyes once again.

There's no one else around
Just the two of us in this moment.

I'm thinking you're the girl I need
Realizing that you're the partner I've been searching for.

And it's never easy
Being in love is never a simple endeavor.

Darling, believe me
Please trust what I am saying.

I'm as skeptical as you
I have my reservations just like you do.

But when I think of, life without us
When considering what our future would be like apart.

She's like "what we supposed to do?"
You ask me what our options would be in that scenario.

But I don't wanna come on too strong
I don't want to push you away with my strong feelings.

If we never leave
If we choose to stay committed to each other for life.

And we can live like this forever
Our love can last a lifetime.

It's fine by me
I have no objections to that possibility.
