Testo You Lost The Sweetest Boy Mary Wells
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...
CHORUS:
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...
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat and fade):
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
