He left me crying one Sunday night outside of Boulder
He said he had to find himself out on the road.
I guess when love goes wrong
You ve gotta learn to be strong.

So I worked two jobs,
And I moved three times.
I ended up south of Memphis, working down in Riverside.
I may not be so lucky in love,
But the one thing Im sure of.

I want a man that stands beside me,
Not in front of or behind me.
Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me
And Ill give all the love in my heart.
Stand beside me.
Be true dont tell lies to me.
Im not looking for a fantasy,
I want a man to stand beside me.

I didnt expect to see hi, one hot July morning
His hair was longer, but his eyes were the same old blue.
He said..ive missed you for so long. Oh baby what can I do?
I said..Iwant a man to stand beside me,
Not in front of or behind me.
Give me two arms that want to hold me, not own me
And Ill give all the love in my heart.

Oh its hard to tell him No
When I want him so bad
But Ive got to be true to my heart this time.

Im not looking for a fantasy
I want a man to stand beside me.
I want a man to stand beside me.
