Your old standby


George Jones Lyrics

 

Your old standby by George Jones


George Jones & Gene Pitney
(Witten by Jim Eanes & Wade Perry)
A shoulder to cry on is all you want from me
Someone to share your heartaches when you cry
Someone you can depend on, who will always be around
I'm nothing more than just your old standby
Chorus:
If you could call me darlin', if you could call me dear
If you could learn to love me by and by
I wouldn't mind this waiting, for I could stand the pain
I'd be more to you than just your old standby
--- Instrumental ---
You wouldn't call me darlin' and you wouldn't call me dear
I wonder if you'll miss me when I die
You have no consideration, and you show no sympathy
I'm nothing more than just your old standby
Chorus:
If you would call me darlin', if you would call me dear
If you could learn to love me by and by
I wouldn't mind this waiting, for I could stand the pain
I'd be something more than just your old standby...
