Lyrics

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
