LYRICS:
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 you 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 And 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

Notes:
Brian Higgins has said the following about the need to release cover versions: "Everyone talks about Biology and Love Machine like they're pop classics, but Radio 1 didn't A-list it at the time. And that's been the case with all of their singles. That's why, once in a while, we put out a cover. A song like I'll Stand by You or Jump will get the lowest common denominator, and do the business for radio, keeping us in the frame for the ones which are slower to get airplay".
The first version of "I'll Stand By You" was a weird modernist breakbeat version which sounded like '90s dance act Future Sound Of London. After a while it was decided that what the BBC needed and what what Children In Need required was a slightly updated copy of the Pretenders version, so the song was started again.

"I'll Stand By You" (...) sounds like Shakespear's Sister and is far, far better than anyone gives it credit for. Nicola Roberts, arguably the greatest living popstar in the world today, does a ballad all on her tod, her voice gets a bit trembly and twangy and it's all rather moving.William B. Swygart

(...) Chrissie Hynde's voice is one of the most recognisable and passionate
voices in music, and Girls Aloud simply are not up to her standard.
This is a sub-karaoke version, limp, tired, and uninspired. If we're
lucky, this is the first sign that their time is rapidly coming to an
end. If you want to support Children In Need, give directly to the
charity, but please, don't encourage Girls Aloud, they might end up
covering Drive for Live Aid II. Doesn't that thought give you the
chills? Sam Shepherd
