Your Old Stand By

Your Old Stand By - Mary Wells

Written by：Smokey Robinson/J. Bradford

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 old

Stand by 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

Beause 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

But 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

No I don't wanna be your old

Stand by

I wanna be with you permanently
