Your Old Standby

(专辑： Feelin' Bluesy - 1968)

She left you last night
And today you called me on the phone
You 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
Well this time I play the part so well
There'll be no need in her coming back

'Cause you know that I'm your old standby
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
Because you needed company
'Cause once again she's had you
And your heart's in misery

And you know that I'm your old standby
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

Every time your heart is aching
You call on me now
Every time your heart is breaking
That's when you call on me

But I don't wanna be your old standby
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

No, I don't wanna be your old standby
I wanna be with you permanently
I'm gonna play the part from the depths of my heart...
