I'll Stand By You | Glee [HD FULL STUDIO]

I'll Stand by You by The Pretenders is featured in Ballad, the tenth episode of Season One. It is sung by Finn when Kurt is trying to help him deal with teenage pregnancy and parental responsibility by singing a ballad about it.

Kurt tells him to imagine singing to his unborn daughter sitting in the auditorium, then he starts the song on the piano. Finn ends up singing to a sonogram at home and it works; however, his mom sees him and suspects something is up. She asks if Quinn is pregnant and Finn breaks down in front of her. The song has a double meaning; while Finn wants to comfort his unborn daughter, his mom unquestioningly comforts him in his time of need.

LYRICS:

Finn:
Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now

Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

And when...
When the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
