I'm standing, standing in for JoeJoe called round to ask me, Would I do a favor?While he's gonna be out of townHe says his girl needs company, she gets so restlessWould I keep her safe and sound?Softly, softly in the nightWhy, you can guess the rest...Now these shoes fit all too wellStanding in for JoeStanding in for JoeI'm standing - in for JoeJoe said we've been friends so longThat I would be the one he would trust with his lifeAnd now those words roll 'round my brainAs darkness falls, as I turn out his bedroom lightWho could resist her tender charms?So the story goes...This actor he plays all the partsStanding in for JoeStanding in for JoeI'm standing - in for JoeLove is like a river,You cannot stop its flow... Mmm hmmJoe called round to ask me, Would I do a favor?While he's gonna be out of townHe says his girl needs company, she gets so restlessWould I check that she's safe and sound?Softly, softly in the nightWhy, you can guess the rest...Now these shoes fit all too wellStanding in for JoeI'm standing in for Joe - Oh yeahI'm standing in for Joe - Keep his sweetheart company, yeahStanding in for Joe - Just standing in for Joe, yeahStanding in for Joe - Until he gets back home, yeahStanding in for Joe - Gonna keep her insane, yeahStanding in for Joe - Gonna keep her safe and sound, yeahStanding in for Joe - Keep his sweetheart company, yeahStanding in for Joe - Almost full time, which is nice, yeahStanding in for Joe - Because she gets so restlessStanding in for Joe - Always so restlessStanding in for Joe - Keep his sweetheart company, yeahStanding in for Joe - Gonna
