I'm standing, standing in for Joe
|
|
Joe called round to ask me, Would I do a favor?
|
While he's gonna be out of town
|
He says his girl needs company, she gets so restless
|
Would I keep her safe and sound?
|
Softly, softly in the night
|
Why, you can guess the rest...
|
Now these shoes fit all too well
|
Standing in for Joe
|
Standing in for Joe
|
I'm standing - in for Joe
|
|
Joe said we've been friends so long
|
That I would be the one he would trust with his life
|
And now those words roll 'round my brain
|
As darkness falls, as I turn out his bedroom light
|
Who could resist her tender charms?
|
So the story goes...
|
This actor he plays all the parts
|
Standing in for Joe
|
Standing in for Joe
|
I'm standing - in for Joe
|
|
Love is like a river,
|
You cannot stop its flow... Mmm hmm
|
|
Joe called round to ask me, Would I do a favor?
|
While he's gonna be out of town
|
He says his girl needs company, she gets so restless
|
Would I check that she's safe and sound?
|
Softly, softly in the night
|
Why, you can guess the rest...
|
Now these shoes fit all too well
|
Standing in for Joe
|
I'm standing in for Joe - Oh yeah
|
I'm standing in for Joe - Keep his sweetheart company, yeah
|
Standing in for Joe - Just standing in for Joe, yeah
|
Standing in for Joe - Until he gets back home, yeah
|
Standing in for Joe - Gonna keep her insane, yeah
|
Standing in for Joe - Gonna keep her safe and sound, yeah
|
Standing in for Joe - Keep his sweetheart company, yeah
|
Standing in for Joe - Almost full time, which is nice, yeah
|
Standing in for Joe - Because she gets so restless
|
Standing in for Joe - Always so restless
|
Standing in for Joe - Keep his sweetheart company, yeah
|
Standing in for Joe - Gonna keep her safe and sound, yeah
|
Standing in for Joe - I'm standing in for Joe, yeah...
