Standing In

Joe South

[Chorus]
Standing in (Standing in), standing in (standing in)
I know I'm not the one you love, I'm just a friend
I've got the shoulder that you cry on (Standing in)
Every time he leaves you all alone
But I wait in line 'til the day you'll find
That I'm the one, one who really loves you
Then, I'll be standing in, standing in no, no more
Listen to this part here, baby

[Verse 1]
He's been playing you for a fool
It's so plain to see
But if I told everything I know
You'd only call it jealousy

[Chorus]
So, I'll keep on standing in (Standing in), standing in (standing in)
I know I'm not the one you love, I'm just a friend
I've got the shoulder that you cry on
Every time he leaves you all alonе
But I wait in line 'til the day you'll find
That I'm the onе, one who really loves you
Then, I'll be standing in, standing in no more
Days are gonna get bright

[Verse 2]
One fine day you're gonna see the light
Find out how much he lied
But until you do, what can I do
But try to be satisfied

[Chorus]
Whenever I'm standing in (Standing in), standing in (standing in)
I know I'm not the one you love, I'm just a friend
I've got the shoulder that you cry on
Every time he leaves you all alone
But I wait in line 'til the day you'll find
That I'm the one, one who really loves you
Then, I'll be standing in, standing in no more

[Outro]
Woah (Standing in)
Yeah, yeah (Standing in)
Oh, oh (Standing in)
Yes, I am, now (Standing in)
Yes, I am (Standing in)
Woah
