Ben E. King - Stand By Me
I do not own these lyrics

My first released cover of an oldie but a goodie! =)

Stand By me

Verse 1-
Lately, I’ve been thinking about you
And I’m a mess inside
Baby, tell me everything is alright
My love, it’s been on my mind
Time and time again
Tell me, baby, this is not the end
Say ohhh, Ohhh x 4

Hook-
I’m playing on the radio
when you’re all alone
Coming from my guitar 
pumping through your speakers on the road
X2

Verse 2-
Now I know where we stand
My girl and my best friend
Hear my on the phone
Hear my on the radio
Close your eyes it’s reality
If I’m not with you hold on to me
So hear me one more time
Hear me one more time

Hook-
I’m playing on the radio
when you’re all alone
Coming from my guitar 
pumping through your speakers on the road
X2

Bridge
Patiently wait til I can see you
Wanna hold you squeeze you touch you
Wanna show you all through the town
But this song will do for now
I’m playing on the radio, oooh
When you are all alone, oooh
From my guitar through to your speakers, oooh
Can you hear me getting louder? Oooooh

Hook-
I’m playing on the radio
when you’re all alone
Coming from my guitar 
pumping through your speakers on the road
X4

01 - Im Playing On The Radio

Verse 1-
We may fight and we may fall
But in the end we’re standing tall
The grass is green on the other side
And every cloud’s got a silver lining
Though these times, these times I pray
In my mind I drift away
To memories on my own
Any mountain we will climb
In this world, so sublime
Euphoria runs through my veins
The past is all a history
The future holds a mystery
But the present remains
A gift from up above
We take advantage of our lives
And I’ll go to hell and back
Just to stay for a while

Hook -
Cuz I’m not angry, no
And I’m unhappy too
That’s why I got nothing to say
Cuz I’m on empty, no
But I’m not full of shit
That’s why I’m walking away
I’m walking away
I’m walking away

Verse 2-
We may fight and we may fall
But in the end we’re standing tall
The grass is green on the other side
And every cloud’s got a silver lining
Though these times, these times I pray
In my mind I drift away
To memories on my own
Any mountain we will climb
In this world, so sublime
Euphoria runs through my veins
The past is all a history
The future holds a mystery
But the present remains
A gift from up above
We take advantage of our lives
And I’ll go to hell and back
Just to stay for a while

Hook-
Cuz I’m not angry, no
And I’m unhappy too
That’s why I got nothing to say
Cuz I’m on empty, no
But I’m not full of shit
That’s why I’m walking away
I’m walking away
I’m walking away

Bridge-
One door closes
Another one opens
And now I’m ready for my next challenge
And now I’m waiting for the outcome when I hold my head high
Cuz now I’m ready
I am ready
I won’t give up to you and you know this cuz I’m 

Hook-
Cuz I’m not angry, no
And I’m unhappy too
That’s why I got nothing to say
Cuz I’m not empty, no
But I’m not full of shit
That’s why I’m walking away
I’m walking away
I’m walking away

I’m walking away x 3

02 - Walking Away

Verse 1-
Sometimes it seems like
You don’t wanna cry.
When really you falsely
Cover up your true inside
Stop hiding, you’re lying
You’re gonna learn your lesson
Show me who you really are,
But not this false impression
I don’t think you know what I want
Cuz when I talk to you, you look like you’re lost
You say this
You say that
I don’t know how to react
Just be yourself not anybody else, girl tell me the truth

Hook-
If you really, ya really really really wanna
Please me
Then, tell me, tell me, tell me a little something about yourself
That makes me wanna get with you
If you really, ya really really really wanna
Please me
Then, tell me, tell me, tell me a little something about yourself
That makes me wanna trust in you
Makes me trust in you

Verse 2-
You don’t wear any makeup
Where did you get those shoes
So many of you out there
It’s so hard to choose
Stop faking
You’re mistaking
Cuz that’s not what you dress in
Show me who you really are,
But not this false impression
I don’t think you know what I want
Cuz when I talk to you, you look like you’re lost
You say this
You say that
I don’t know how to react
Just be yourself not anybody else, girl tell me the truth

Hook-
If you really, ya really really really wanna
Please me
Then, tell me, tell me, tell me a little something about yourself
That makes me wanna get with you
If you really, ya really really really wanna
Please me
Then, tell me, tell me, tell me a little something about yourself
That makes me wanna trust in you
Makes me trust in you

Bridge-
If you really really wanna
Please me please me
Tell me something about yourself
Makes me wanna get with you
You really wanna please me
Tell me tell me
Something about yourself
Makes me wanna get with you

Hook X 2-
If you really, ya really really really wanna
Please me
Then, tell me, tell me, tell me a little something about yourself
That makes me wanna get with you
If you really, ya really really really wanna
Please me
Then, tell me, tell me, tell me a little something about yourself
That makes me wanna trust in you

03 - False Impression

Intro-
We’ll meet
Later down the street
Your eyes
They cut me like a knife
Your body your hair
The smile you wear
Could be so deadly to me

You X 5

Verse 1-
When you are down,
I’m there to pick you up, girl.
Your heart is what I found,
Tell me what’s up.
I got these feelings inside,
I know they’re for real.
Playing tricks on my mind,
This is how I feel.
Am I wasting my time?
Are you slipping away?
Will you ever be mine?
Girl, what can I say
To get through to 

Hook-
You X 5

Verse 2-
Tell me the truth,
Stop playing with my head.
This sounds like old news,
Remember what I said?
I’m losing my sleep,
Tell me the deal.
My secrets are deep,
This is how I feel.
Am I wasting my time?
Are you slipping away?
Will you ever be mine?
Girl, what can I say
To get through to 

You X 5

Outro-
I feel like I’m lost
I feel like I’m blind
I feel all alone
I feel left behind
I feel like I’m here
I feel like you’re there
I feel like you just don’t...
Just don’t…
Care

04 - You

We all bop our heads in the same language
