I'll Be Standing By

(album: Everybody Needs Love - 1967)

Please don't make it hard, hard on yourself
Don't you know I'll understand
If you find someone else I'll set you free
Forget the promises you made to me
But remember (Remember)
If she ever (Ever)
If she ever makes you cry

I'll be standing (Standing)
Oh, standing by if you need me
Oh, somewhere I'm standing by
To wipe tears from your eyes, ooooh

You can't held if the feeling, if the feeling's gone
But if I, if I only knew
What did I, what did I do wrong
But now we're through
Tell her she'd better be good to you
But remember (Remember)
If your new love (New love)
If she doesn't satisfy

I'll be somewhere (Standing)
Oh, standing by if you need me, baby
(Somewhere standing by)
Oh, standing by, oooooh

If she can do for you what I'm not able to
I'll forget my pride and step aside
'Cause I want you to have the very best
Even if it means my all happiness

I'll be somewhere (Standing)
Oh, standing by if you need me
(Somewhere standing by)
Oh-oh, standing by you if you really want me
(Somewhere standing by)
Oh-oh, standing by, call me, baby
(Somewhere standing by)
Oh, standing by, oooh, baby, baby, baby...
