Bilingual
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
Well, this time I'll play the part so well
There'll be no need in her coming back
'Cause you know that I'm your own stand-by
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 left you
And your heart's in misery
But you know that I'm your own stand-by
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
But I don't wanna be your own 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
No, I don't wanna be your own 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
