(As performed by George Jones & Gene Pitney)
3
A shoulder to cry on is all you want from me
4
Someone to share your heartaches when you cry
5
Someone you can depend on, who will always be around
6
I'm nothing more than just your old standby
7
(Chorus:)
8
If you could call me darlin, if you could call me dear
9
If you could learn to love me by and by
10
I wouldn't mind this waiting, for I could stand the pain
11
I'd be more to you than just your old standby
12
You wouldn't call me darlin and you wouldn't call me dear
13
I wonder if you'll miss me when I die
14
You have no consideration, you show no sympathy
15
I'm nothing more than just your old standby
16
(Repeat chorus)
