Lyrics

Stand By Yourself

I used to think that everybody had someone else...
We're all alone
Addicted to the things I want 'cos you tell me
That's what I should own
I read the news, I read it to myself
Light your fire
La la la etc.
I know the games, I play them to myself

Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself
Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself

I look out of my window and my reflection's all that I see
I know the world is beautiful
But I'm the focus of the world and it revolves around me
I read the news, I read it to myself
Light your fire
La la la etc.
When will you learn that you can do anything that you really want?
Light your fire
La la la etc.
Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself
Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself, Stand by yourself

Stand By Yourself, Stand By Yourself, Stand By Yourself
Stand By Yourself, Stand By Yourself, Stand By Yourself
