[Verse 1]

Your girlfriend left for the night

You’re so selfish and impatient

Looking me dead in the eyes

Why do you put me in this situation?

Where you say “Stay over a while

We can sleep on the floor next to my bed”

And we both know why I agree every time

And then regret it, because

[Chorus]

You keep me in the wings until she needs a stand-in

Like I don’t know

Seen it so many times, I know all the lines

I’ll be ready to go

Yeah, when you need me, I’ll be ready to go

[Verse 2]

I watched your every move

I watched as you made your decision

Keeping her further from you

Moving me into position

And you’ll say it’s over with her, you can kiss me again

In the back room

We both know why I agree every time

And I let you, because

[Chorus]

You keep me in the wings until she needs a stand-in

Like I don’t know

Seen it so many times, I know all the lines

I’ll be ready to go

Yeah, when you need me, I’ll be ready to go

[Bridge]

And ooh, I can’t lie

I think I’m addicted to all of your issues

And ooh, I can’t lie

I think I'll keep living for your bad decisions

’Til somebody comes and they pull me along

And I’m miles away from you, because

[Chorus]

You keep me in the wings until she needs a stand-in

Like I don’t know

Seen it so many times, I know all the lines

I’ll be ready to go

Yeah, when you need me, I’ll be ready to go

Oh, when you need me, I’ll be ready to go

When you need me, I’ll be ready to go
