Stand Beside Me Lyrics - I'm Alright - Jo Dee Messina

He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder 

He said he had to find himself out on the road 

I guess when love goes wrong 

You've gotta learn to be strong 

So I worked two jobs and I moved three times 

I ended up south of Memphis, workin' down in Riverside 

I may not be so lucky in love 

But the one thing I'm sure of 

I want a man that stands beside me 

Not in front of or behind me 

Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me 

And I'll give all the love in my heart 

Stand beside me 

Be true, don't tell lies to me 

I'm not lookin' for a fantasy 

I want a man who stands beside me 

I didn't expect to see him, one hot July morning 

His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue 

He said, "I've missed you for so long 

Oh baby, what can I do?" 

I said, "I want a man that stands beside me 

Not in front of or behind me 

Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me 

And I'll give all the love in my heart" 

Oh, it's hard to tell him, "No" 

When I want him so bad 

But I've got to be true to my heart 

This time 

I'm not lookin' for a fantasy 

I want a man who stands beside me 

I want a man who stands beside me 

Stand beside me 

Stand beside me
