Stand by My Girl Lyrics

There's a man in a blue plaid shirt comin' knocking
I don't know what he's coming for
But I know it's probably isn't gonna hurt anybody
If I don't get up and answer the door
No I believe I stay here on the floor

I'm gonna stand by my girl
Don't think I won't
I'm gonna stand by my girl
Because she'll kill me if I don't
I said she'll kill me if I don't

I never should've messed up
I should've gone ahead and fessed up
I'm gonna look good all dressed up
For my own funeral
I'm sure she'll look beautiful

I'm gonna stand by my girl
Don't think I won't
I'm gonna stand by my girl
Because she'll kill me if I don't
I said she'll kill me if I don't

I love girl with fire in her eyes
It's what I used to say
But now I've come to realize
If I wanna live another day
I can't be living that way

I'm gonna stand by my girl
Don't think I won't
I'm gonna stand by my girl
Because she'll kill me if I don't

I'm gonna stand by my girl
Don't think I won't
I'm gonna stand by my girl
Because she'll kill me if I don't
I said she'll kill me if I don't

Trouble Weighs A Ton

There's a man in a blue plaid shirt comin' knocking
I don't know what he's coming for
But I know it's probably isn't gonna hurt anybody
If I don't get up and answer the door
No I believe I stay here on the floor

I'm gonna stand by my girl
Don't think I won't
I'm gonna stand by my girl
Because she'll kill me if I don't
I said she'll kill me if I don't

I never should've messed up
I should've gone ahead and fessed up
I'm gonna look good all dressed up
For my own funeral
I'm sure she'll look beautiful

I'm gonna stand by my girl
Don't think I won't
I'm gonna stand by my girl
Because she'll kill me if I don't
I said she'll kill me if I don't

I love girl with fire in her eyes
It's what I used to say
But now I've come to realize
If I wanna live another day
I can't be living that way

I'm gonna stand by my girl
Don't think I won't
I'm gonna stand by my girl
Because she'll kill me if I don't

I'm gonna stand by my girl
Don't think I won't
I'm gonna stand by my girl
Because she'll kill me if I don't
I said she'll kill me if I don't

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
