Oh I want all your friends around, girl
I work to put you down girl
And laughed to see you cry
And yet you're standing by
I tried to make it clear, girl
That I don't want you near, girl
The price is much to high
Oh yet you're standing by
And I try to go home, try to go home
Try to go home, try to go home
Try to go home without you
I guess I don't make my mind, girl
But I always known that I wind up loving you
This hurting don't make sense, girl
I want to say the best is just a pretense, girl
Oh now i don't need to lie
And I'm so glad that you're standing by
Yes, yes, I'm so glad that you're standing by, girl
Yes, yes, I want to tell the world that I'm so proud you're mine girl
Oh no, I won't cry no more
I don't have to be a fool in life no more
