He left me cryin' late one Sunday night outside of Boulder

He said he had to find himself out on the road

F G

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

Be true, don't tell lies to me

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

C2 C C2 C C2 G

His hair was longer, but his eyes were the same old blue

F G

He said, "I've missed you for so long...

F

Oh baby, what can I do?"

I said...

CHORUS:

I want a man to stand beside me

Not own me

And I'll give all the love in my heart

But, I've got to be true to my heart this time...

I want a man to stand beside me

I want a man to stand beside me

Stand beside me

Stand beside me
