You Can't Stand Alone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Somebody broke your heart once before, yeah
Now you claim you don't want love no more
Listen, girl; hear what I say
How long do you think you can go on this way?
CHORUS:
You know you can't stand alone no matter how you try
Got to have somebody to love, goes for you & I
(Everybody needs somebody) (x3)
All of a sudden you can't stand alone
Love brought you heartaches sometime, so wrong, yeah
Don't let it turn your heart into stone
I love you, baby; this you can recognize, yeah
I see a spark of love deep in your eyes
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Love brought you misery; that may be true
But that is something that we all go through
Oh come put your hand in mine & don't look back
Let's fall in love, baby; that's where it's at
You know you can't stand alone no matter how you try
Got to have somebody to love, goes for you & I
(repeat & fade):
(Everybody needs somebody)
