|
She left you last night |
|
And today you called me on the phone |
|
Asked me if you could come over |
|
'Cause you didn't want to be alone |
|
So you want me to stand in for her |
|
And be the love of your next act |
|
But this time I play the part so well |
|
There'll be no need for her coming back, 'cause... |
|
CHORUS: |
|
You know that I'm your old stand-by |
|
You know that you can call on me |
|
I know the part so well that you can hardly tell |
|
That she's left you in misery |
|
I know you only called me 'cause you needed company |
|
'Cause once again she's left you and your heart's in misery, but... |
|
(chorus) |
|
(repeat and fade): |
|
I don't wanna be your old stand-by |
|
I wanna be with you permanently |
|
I'm gonna play the part from the depths of my heart |
|
And you won't need nobody but me |
