Stand In - Deva Mahal

Careless

You were so careless with my heart

And you damn near

You damn near tore it apart

Told me you’re loving

Somebody else

But you still wanna keep me

Sitting here on your shelf

I’m no stand-in

I’m no one’s second-best

I’m not your maybe I might call her

When there’s no else left to impress

Hopeless

I’m hopelessly lost in you

And now it’s clear to me, baby

You just want your cake and eat it too

Go home now, go, oh

Go ahead and walk out that door

And don’t you ever

Don’t you ever, never call me no more

I’m no stand-in

I’m no one’s second-best

I’m not your maybe I might call her

When there’s no else left to impress

And I’m no side piece

I’m not just some bump on the road

I’m not your maybe be your baby

When you got someone else at home

I’m a diamond, diamond

Shining bright, glitter and gold

Baby, I’m the best thing

The best thing you never had

The strength to hold, oh

I’m no stand-in

I’m no one’s second-best

I’m not your maybe I might call her

When there’s no else left to impress

And, baby, I’m no side piece

I’m not just some bump on the road

I’m no maybe be your baby

When you got someone else

Someone else to hold

Someone else to hold
