Your Old Stand-By Songtext

She left you last night, & 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 & be the love of your next act But this time I play the part so well, there'll be no need of her comin' back 'Cause 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 When she's left you in misery I know you only called me 'cause you needed company 'Cause once again she's left you & your heart's in misery But 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 When she's left you in misery (repeat & 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 & you won't need anybody but me
