Iand'm standing, standing in for joe
Joe called round to ask me, would i do a favor?
while heand'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
iand'm standing - in for joe
Joe said weand've been friends so long
that i would be the one he would trust with his life
and now those words roll and'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
iand'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 heand's gonna be out of town
