Stand By Me
U.S.A. Classics Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday I've
Gotta lot of things to learn
Said I would and I'll be leaving one day
Before my heart starts to burn
So what's the matter with you
Sing me something new don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away

Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in
the things we find Behind the door
So what's the matter with you
Sing me something new don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
Stand by me
nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
nobody knows the way it's gonna be
If you're leaving will you take me with you
I'm tired of talking on my phone
There is one thing I can never give you
My heart can never be your home
So what's the matter with you
Sing me something new don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
Stand by me
nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand by me
nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me
nobody knows the way it's gonna be
