Standing In For Joe

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...
