Now when my heart (I want to know)
Wrecked with pain (I want to know)
And my best friends (I want to know)
Scandalize my name (I want to know)
Yeah I wanna know (I want to know)
Said, I wanna know (I want to know)
I want to know (I want to know)
Can you hear my blue (I want to know)
Now when I'm down (yes, yes, yes)
Yeah pick me up (yes, yes, yes)
And stand by me (oh, stand by me)

Now I'm in this world (I want to know)
All alone (I want to know)
I ain't got nobody (I want to know)
To call my own (I want to know)
Well I wanna know (I want to know)
Said, I wanna know (I want to know)
I want to know (I want to know)
Can you hear my blue (I want to know)
Now when I'm down (yes, yes, yes)
Please pick me up (yes, yes, yes)
And stand by me (oh, stand by me)

Now you've heard my song (I want to know)
And my song is through (I want to know)
So remember baby (I want to know)
I'm depending on you (I want to know)
Cause I wanna know (I want to know)
I wanna know (I want to know)
Yeah I wanna know (I want to know)
Can you hear my blue (I want to know)
Now when I'm down (yes, yes, yes)
Hey lord, pick me up (yes, yes, yes)
And stand by me (oh, stand by me)
Stand by me
