Every time I've tried in my life
I find it just won't turn out right
I've spent the night with those
I don't even like
And that's why,
I just wanna kiss you goodbye

Every time I've give in to lust
I find out that it's really
Me that I can't trust
But all the times before,
They just don't matter no more
Cause you're the girl that
I've been dreaming of

Stand by me
I can't see me with anybody else
Could anybody make me sleep so softly
I can't see what I've felt
I'm diving down the wishing well
I think my heart is getting well

One more time I'll sit on this cloud
One more time I'll let my thoughts be heard out loud
One more time I'll fight for what in my heart is right
Cause you're the girl I'm dreaming about

Stand by me
I can't see me with anybody else
Could anybody make me sleep so softly
I can't see what I've felt
I'm diving down the wishing well
I think my heart is getting well

Go ahead and say what you like
But I'm at peace and I'm feeling alright
