Johnnie Taylor - Standing In For Jody lyrics
rate meI don`t need nobody<br />
Shaking my tree<br />
Save all your love<br />
Save it just for me<br />
You kiss me but the<br />
Feeling just aint there, no, no<br />
You`re saving the real thing for Jody<br />
And you`re using me just for a smile<br />
I can see through that<br />
<br />
You come running, running<br />
Running, running, running to me<br />
Each time Jody makes you cry<br />
Lord, have mercy<br />
<br />
You`re nothing but a fool for Jody<br />
Well, I`m a bigger fool to watch the<br />
Tears as they fall from your eyes<br />
All right, now<br />
<br />
I`m gonna tell you something<br />
I`m tired of standing in for Jody<br />
(I got to keep you for myself)<br />
Oh, tired of standing in for Jody<br />
(I got to keep you for myself)<br />
You see, a man can`t be a man<br />
Playing second fiddle to someone else<br />
<br />
One day, one day soon, baby<br />
You`re gonna wake up and see<br />
Jody`s just using you, baby<br />
The same doggone way<br />
<br />
But let me tell you something<br />
I`m so tired, I`ve had enough<br />
Cause you call his name<br />
When we`re making love<br />
<br />
Each day, I love you<br />
A little bit more<br />
How do you think I feel<br />
When Jody comes around<br />
And I have to go<br />
<br />
I don`t want nobody<br />
Shaking apples in my tree<br />
Save all your love<br />
Give it just for me<br />
Oh, yeah, now<br />
<br />
Stop using me<br />
Using me, using me<br />
Lord, have mercy<br />
<br />
I`m tired of standing in for Jody<br />
(I got to keep you for myself) oh<br />
I`m so tired of standing in for Jody<br />
(I got to keep you for myself)<br />
A man can`t be a man playing<br />
Second fiddle to someone else<br />
<br />
I bet somebody`s waiting out there<br />
Tonight, watching their watch<br />
Trying to see what time it is<br />
Jody was supposed to pick you up<br />
Take you to the movie show<br />
<br />
Then he called and<br />
Told you it was too late<br />
I got another date, honey<br />
Can`t see you no more<br />
<br />
Don`t you get tired<br />
Of waiting on Jody<br />
Standing in, standing in<br />
And waiting</
