No Matter What Tammy Said (I Won't Stand by Him) Songtext
von My Darling Clementine

Everybody thinks the nicest man you′d ever meet
Is the one that placed this ring upon my hand
But a love that's true can sometimes be lost in deceit
And if you′re looking for the lie well here I stand
I'm seeing black and blue and purple
'Cause he keeps seeing red
I look up at the church and tower and steeple
And I wonder who′s better off dead
He′s down on his knees and begs forgiveness
And that's the worst part I dread
But no I won′t stand by him
No matter what Tammy said
Everybody thinks he's full of charm and treats her right
But that′s not how it looks from where I stand
When her turns to take her arm and holds it just too tight
I want to tell the world just what I've planned
When he leaves the bar and staggers home on Friday night
He′s going to see the colour of my eyes
'Cause a man should know the difference between wrong and right
And he's going to learn the truth before sunrise


She′s seeing black and blue and purple
′Cause he keeps seeing red
I look at the church, the tower, the steeple
And I wonder who's better off dead
He′s down on his knees and begs forgiveness
And that's the worst part I dread
But no she won′t stand by him
No matter what Tammy said
He tells me he's sorry
He says that he′ll try
But I say enough, I've got to be tough
This time it's goodbye
I′m seeing black and blue and purple
′Cause he keeps seeing red
I look up to the church and tower and steeple
And I wonder who's better off dead
He′s down on his knees and begs forgiveness
And that's the worst part I dread
But no I won′t stand by him
No matter what Tammy said
But no she won't stand by him
No matter what Tammy said
No I won′t stand him
No matter what Tammy said
