Jim Eanes - Your Old Standby lyrics

[Intro: George Jones] I'm nothing more than just your old standby [Verse 1: George Jones] A shoulder to cry on is all you want from me Someone to share your heartache when you cry [Verse 1: Gene Pitney] Someone you can depend on, who will always be around I'm nothing more than just your old standby [Chorus: George Jones and Gene Pitney] If you could call me darling, 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 [Verse 2: George Jones] You wouldn't call me darling and you wouldn't call me dear I wonder if you'll miss me when I die [Verse 2: Gene Pitney] You have no consideration, you show no empathy I'm nothing more than just your old standby
