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      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      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 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      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      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   ...
