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

Says his girl needs company, she gets so restless

Would I keep her safe and sound

Softly, softly, in the night

Well, 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

But I would be the one he would trust with his life

Now, those words run '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

Oh, I'm standing in for Joe

Love is like a river, you cannot stop its flow

Joe called 'round to ask me, would I do a favor

While he's gonna be out of town

Says his girl needs company, she gets so restless

Would I keep check that she's safe and sound

Softly, softly, in the night

Well, 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

Standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe

Standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe

Standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe

Standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe, standing in for Joe
