I guess when love goes wrong
F G
You gotta learn to be strong
F C
So, I worked two jobs
F C F
And I moved three times
C F C
I ended up south of Memphis
F G
Workin' down in Riverside
F G
I may not be so lucky in love
F
But, the one thing I'm sure of
CHORUS:
F C
I want a man to stand beside me
F C
Not in front of, or behind me
F C F
Give me two arms that want to hold me
C Am
Not own me
F G
And I'll give all the love in my heart
C F
Stand beside me
F C
Be true, don't tell lies to me
F C
I'm not looking for a fantasy

I want a man to 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...
CHORUS:
F C
I want a man to stand beside me

Not in front of, or behind me
F C F
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 looking for a fantasy
I want a man to stand beside me
I want a man to stand beside me
Stand beside me
Stand beside me
