---Lirik lagu---

Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday

I've got a lot of things to learn

Said I would and I'll be leaving one day

Before my heart starts to burn

So what's the matter with you?

Sing me something new

Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go away

Times are hard when things have got no meaning

I've found a key upon the floor

Maybe you and I will not believe in

The things we find behind the door

So what's the matter with you?

Sing me something new

Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go away

Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me, nobody knows

Yeah, nobody knows, the way it's gonna be

If you're leaving will you take me with you?

I'm tired of talking on my phone

There is one thing I can never give you

My heart will never be your home

So what's the matter with you?

Sing me something new

Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go away

Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me, nobody knows

Yeah, nobody knows, the way it's gonna be

The way it's gonna be, yeah

Maybe I can see, yeah

Don't you know the cold and wind and rain don't know

They only seem to come and go away (hey, hey)

Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me, nobody knows the way it's gonna be

Stand by me, nobody knows

Yeah, God only knows, the way it's gonna be
