Standing In For Jody Lyrics


I don't need nobody
Shaking my tree
Save all your love
Save it just for meYou kiss me but the feeling just ain't there
No, no you're saving the real thing for Jody
And you're using me just for a spare
I can see through thatYou come running, running
Running, running, running to me
Each time Jody makes you cry
Lord, have mercyYou're nothing but a fool for Jody
But I'm a bigger fool to watch the
Tears as they fall from your eyes
All right, nowI'm gonna tell you something
I'm tired of standing in for Jody
(I got to keep you for myself)
Oh, tired of standing in for Jody
(I got to keep you for myself)
You see, a man can't be a man

Playing second fiddle to someone elseOne day, one day soon, baby
You're gonna wake up and see
Jody's just using you, baby
The same doggone ways
Using [Incomprehensible]But let me tell you something
I'm so tired, I've had enough
'Cause you're callin' out his name
When we're making loveEach day, I love you a little bit more
How do you think I feel
When Jody comes around
And I have to goI don't want nobody
Shaking apples in my tree
Save all your love
Give it all to me
Oh, yeah, nowStop using me
Using me, using me
Lord, have mercyTired of standing in for Jody
(I got to keep you for myself)
Oh, I'm so tired of standing in for Jody
(I got to keep you for myself)
A man can't be a man playing
Second fiddle to someone elseI bet somebody's waiting out there tonight
Watching their watch trying to see what time it is
Jody was supposed to pick you up take you to the movie show
Then he called, he told you it's too late
I got another date, honey can't see you no moreDon't you get tired
Of waiting on Jody
(Standing in on Jody)
Don't you get tired
Standing in, standing in
And waiting forTired, tired, tired
Oh, I'm so tired
Jody [Incomprehensible]
