(One, two, one, two, three, four)

This might sound strange, might seem dumb
Depends on the side that you take it in from
Depends on the time, depends on the day
Depends on a lot of things, who can say

I just want to let you know that I will stand by you
Through whatever might come, wherever you run
Will you stand by me when the time comes?

Baby, do you understand, am I making this clear?
Are you tuning me out 'cause I'm coming off weird?
Well, I don't care, that's all right
It's okay, I don't mind

I just want to let you know that I will stand by you
Through whatever might come, wherever you run
Will you stand by me when the time comes?

This ain't the right time to say what's on my mind
I know
But I look in your eyes
And there is no real life at all
Baby, hold on

And someday soon you'll come around
You know where I can be found
When you heart feels right, seek me out
We can talk more then, babe, but right now

I just want to let you know that I will stand by you
Through whatever might come, wherever you run
Will you stand by me when the time comes?

"One more?"
"That one felt good"
