He left me crying late one Sunday night,
Outside a border
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,
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 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 lookin for a fantasy,
I want a man who stands beside me

I didn't exspect to see him,
One hot July mornin
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 wanna hold me,
not own me
And I'll give all the love in my heart

Oh, Its hard to,
Tell him no when I want him so bad
But I've go to be true to my heart,
This time

OooooooOooo
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
Ah ho-ou-oh
Stand beside me
Ah ho-ou-ohhh
