Your Old Stand By Lyrics

Your Old Stand By lyrics

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) 

  

 (instrumental) 

  

 (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
