Your Old Stand By Lyrics - Singles - Mary Wells

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 

...
