Lyrics
He left me crying 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 gotta learn to be strong
So I worked two jobs
And I moved three times
I ended up south of Memphis
Working down in Riverside
Oh, I may not be so lucky in love
But the one thing I'm sure of
I want a man to stand beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that wanna 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 looking for a fantasy
I want a man who'll stand 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 to stand beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that wanna 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 looking for a fantasy
I want a man who'll stand beside me
I want a man who'll stand beside me
Stand beside me
Oh, stand beside me
Yeah, oh
