Candi Staton Lyrics

Stand By Your Man
Thought You'd Like To Know
When There’s Nothing Left But God
Young Hearts Run Free

Stand By Your Man

Some times it's hard to be a woman
Givin' all your love to just one man
You'll have sad times and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, aww, be proud of him
Cuz after all he's just a man

Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And somethin' warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man and show the world you love him
Keep givin' all the love you can
Stand by your man

Stand by your man and show the world you love him
Keep givin' all the love you can
Stand by your ma-a-n

Thought You'd Like To Know

THOUGHT YOU'LD LIKE TO KNOW
ALL THOSE NIGHTS YOU PACED THE FLOOR
PRAYING THAT I WOULD MAKE IT HOME ALRIGHT,
BELIEVING IN GOD THAT HE WOULD SOMEDAY SAVE MY SOUL
WELL HE DID,JUST THOUGHT YOU'LD LIKE TOO KNOW.

THEN I THOUGHT YOU'LD LIKE TO KNOW
ALL THOSE PRAYERS YOU PRAYED FOR ME,
NEVER A ONE FELL TO THE GROUND, I KNOW
SOMETIMES IT LOOK LIKE,I WAS A MILLION MILES FROM GRACE
BUT HE ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS, JUST THOUGHT YOU'LD LIKE TOO KNOW.

CHORUS
OH MOMMA I WANT YOU TO KNOW I LOVE YOU,
PLEASE FORGIVE MY FOR ALL THE TIMES I BROKE YOUR HEART
EVERY TEAR YOU CRIED FOR ME, DREW ME CLOSER TOO BEING FREE,AND I WANT TOO THANK YOU,JUST THOUGHT YOU'LD LIKE TOO KNOW.

THEN I THOUGHT YOU'LD LIKE TOO KNOW
THAT I WISH I COULD LIVE MY LIFE AGAIN,
IF I COULD,I WOULD SURELY MAKE AMENDS, AND IF I COULD HELP MY BROTHER,A NEW LIFE TO DISCOVER,OH I WOULD,
JUST THOUGHT YOU'LD LIKE TOO KNOW.

GO BACK TO CHORUS.
GOD BLESS HOPE YOU SING IT SOON.

When There’s Nothing Left But God

When everything you ever worked for, Lord, it’s gone in a second
When life throws you a curve, you can’t bend, Oh Know
When everyone has turned against you, all of your friends,
Your so-called friends forsake you
When there’s nothing left but God, that’s all you need

When hell, hell breaks a loose
And it looks like now way to
When everyone that you relying on, now relying on you, Oh yeah
When destruction always destroying
Chile and the devil, the devil sends you through
When there’s nothing left but God, that’s all you need, Oh yeah

*He the life that you live, He’s the breath that he gives
He’s the joy, that he brings
I want tell ya, he’s your everything, hey, hey, hey
He’s the peace that he gives
And that ain’t all he’s the healer, that he is
When there’s nothing left but God, chile
that’s all you need****
you can’t get too low
you can’t be too down
He get down there with you, he’ll pick up the pieces for you
my Lord you can start all over again
you got love and you got peace
that’s all you need is Jesus * *He the life that you live, He’s the breath that he gives
He’s the joy, that he brings
I want tell ya, he’s your everything, hey, hey, hey
He’s the peace that he gives
And that ain’t all he’s the healer, that he is
When there’s nothing left but God, I want to tell you right now,
that’s all you need***
When there’s nothing left but God, that’s all you need

Young Hearts Run Free

What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life
Endin' up, just another lost and lonely wife
You'll count up the years, and they will be filled with tears
Love only breaks up, to start over again
You'll get the baby, but you won't have your man
While he is busy loving every woman that he can, uh-huh
Say I'm gonna leave a hundred times a day
It's easier said than done
When you just can't break away (when you just can't break away)

Chorus:

Oh young hearts run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, my man and me
Ooh, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you, don't love you

It's high time now just one crack at life
Who wants to live in, in trouble and strife
My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me, uh-hmm

I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days
Encourage the babies every time they say
"Self preservation is what's really going on today"

Say I'm gonna turn loose a thousand times a day
But how can I turn loose
When I just can't break away (when I just can't break away)

Oh young hearts run free
They'll never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, you and me
Ooh, young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when love really don't love you, don't love you

(Saxophone solo)

(Repeat chorus and fade)
