Verse 1:

If I had the choice to make it alright (make it alright),
if I had the time to wait here all night (wait here all night);
if I had my way, then I wouldn't hear you say,
but I know I have to stay...ah, ah, ah ay

Chorus:

Standing by, standing by, standing by, standing by,
standing by, standing by, standing by, standing by,
standing by, standing by, stay

By standing, by standing, by standing, by standing

by standing, by standing by

Verse 2:

If there were times when I had made it alright (made it alright),
if there were places I had stayed in all night (stayed in all night),
if there were reasons why, I let all this time go by,
but now I'm waiting here tonight ah, ah, ah ay

Repeat Chorus

What do I do today, I cannot go away
what do I do right now, I am just here to stay

I know I'll never try, now I say
