Standing in for Joe 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/standing-in-for-joe-lyrics-xtc.html ] 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
