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
