Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can stand the pain of life
The ticking of the clock
I can stand the pain of love
And even stand the shock
But when I hear you say
That you will go away
And leave me someday
I can't stand it
[Verse 2]
Oh, no (No, no, I can't stand it)
No, I can't stand it (Oh, no, I can't stand it)
I can't stand it (No, no, I can't stand it)
No, I can't stand it
[Verse 3]
I can stand up for my rights
When the going gets tough
I can stand up in a fight
When I know I've had enough
But when I hear you say
That you will go away
And leave me someday
I can't stand it
[Verse 4]
Oh, no (Nh, no, I can't stand it)
No, I can't stand it (Oh, no, I can't stand it)
I can't stand it (No, no, I can't stand it)
No, I can't stand it
[Verse 5]
Oh, no
No, no, no
Oh, no
[Verse 6]
Standing close to me
It makes kinda weak
And when you hold me tight
My poor heart skips a beat
But when I hear you say
That you will go away
And leave me someday
I can stand it
[Verse 7]
Oh, no (No, no, I can't stand it)
No, I can't stand it (No, no, I can't stand it)
I can't stand it (No, no, I can't stand it)
No, I can't stand it
[Verse 8]
Oh, when you hurt me (I can't stand it)
When you kiss me (Can't stand it)
When you squeeze me (I can't stand it)
Oh, you know kinda please me (I can't stand it)
I can't stand it (I can't stand it)
I can't stand it (No, I can't stand it)
I can't stand it (No, I can't stand it)
No, I can't stand it (I can't stand it)
No, no, I can't stand it (No, I can't stand it)
No, no, I can't stand it (I can't stand it)
No, no, I can't stand it (Oh, no, I can't stand it)
No, no, I can't stand it (Baby, when you love me)
No, no, I can't stand it (No, I can't stand it)
