I Stood By

I stood by

And watched another man take my gal

I stood by

And watched another man take my gal

It wouldn't have hurt me so bad

But that man was my very best pal

I was sorry

Just as sorry as I could be

I was sorry

Just as sorry as I could be

I hated to lose my baby

Because she was so sweet to me

I did all I could to please her

But she just didn't understand

I did all I could to please her

But she just didn't understand

Someday you'll want me back, baby

And I'll be another woman's man
