I'll Stand By You (The Pretenders cover) Lyrics

Oh.. why do you look so sad
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad.. get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey.. what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm alot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when..
When the night falls on you.. baby
You're feeling all alone
ou won't be on your own

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

I love this song. I dedicate it to my best friend, she's been through a lot and I just want her to know, no matter what happens i'll be there for her. She's my rock, she's always been there for me. And I want her to know that I'll be there like she was for me. I love her to death.

this song means different things for me. i can also relate it to my best friend, we have been through everything together and i would do anything for her. but the main thing is with my mother. This song I would give to her because she cannot decide if she should leave her husband or not, he treats her wrong and is controlling and she is not happy. She is having such a hard time and this song fits it perfect.

Oh.. why do you look so sad Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be ashamed to cry Let me see you through 'Cause I've seen the dark side too When the night falls on you You don't know what to do Nothing you confess Could make me love you less

ill stand by her no matter what

This song has 2 different meanings for me. One being, as a few people have also said, for my best friend. She and I have gone through a lot together, especially recently, and i played this for her to show her that no matter what i will be beside her, even though we may not always agree on what the other one does.

and my 2nd meaning is about a guy that i have been really good friends with for the last 2 years. we tried dating, but it didn't work because we go to school 9 hours away from each other, but nothing as changed between us. when we are together, anyone can see our spark is still there. me & him would honestly do anything for each other. neither time or distance has been able to take that away from us...and hopefully one day we will be able to give our relationship a true chance.

i think not much has been said because she is just covering this song. It is sung, and much better, by The Pretenders. :-)
