I know you've been hurt
So hard to trust anymore
When is the time to let go
It's the one thing I just don't know
I can't tell you what to do
I know for sure I love you
You keep it all inside
I know it's there you can just try

I'm asking you
To see it through
This time will be different
I swear it to you
Don't think that I'm not afraid just like you
Willing to make this promise to you

Stand by your man
I will never ever let you down
I will be there for you with a love that is true
Forever and ever and ever
Stand by your man
And there's nothing that we can not do
Cause you're all that I need
And If you believe baby
Stand by me

This world can be cruel yeah baby
I've been too just like you
Each night I pray
I'm reaching out hoping you'll stay
I'm asking you girl to see it through
This time will be different
I swear it to you baby
Don't think I not afraid just like you
I'm willing to really make this promise to you

Stand by your man
I will never ever let you down
I will be there for you with a love that is true
Forever and ever and ever
Stand by your man
And there's nothing that we can not do
Cause you're all that I need
And If you believe baby
Stand by me

I know you've heard it all before
And why should you think that I'm any different
All I can tell you is
I've been hurt just like you
And I'm afraid just like you
And I love you so much
And I know we can make it if we just take a chance
If you'll stand by me just like I've always stand by you

Stand by your man
I will never ever let you down
I will be there for you with a love that is true
Forever and ever and ever
Stand by your man
And there's nothing that we can not do
Cause you're all that I need
And If you believe baby
Stand by me
