Lyrics Stand In - Deva Mahal

Careless
You were so careless with my heart
And you damn near
You damn near tore it apart
Told me your lovin' (lovin')
Somebody else (somebody else)
But you still want to keep me (keep me)
Sittin' here on your shelf (mm)

I'm no stand in
I'm no one's second best
Not your "maybe I might call her"
When there's no one 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 on now, go (go on)
Go ahead and walk out that door (walk out that door)
And don't you ever (ever)
Don't you ever never call me no more

I'm no stand in
I'm no one's second best
Not no "maybe I might call her"
When there's no one else left to impress

And I'm no side piece
I'm not just some bump on the road
I'm not the "oh maybe be your baby"
When you've got someone else
I won't

I'm a diamond, diamond
Shining bright, glittering gold (glittering gold)
Maybe I'm the best thing
The best thing you've ever had
The strength to hold
Oh

I'm no stand in (stand in)
I'm no one's second best (oh no no, second best)
I'm no "maybe I might call her"
When there's no one else left to impress (when there's no one else)
And baby I'm no side piece (I'm no side piece)
I'm not just some bump on the road
I'm no "maybe be your baby"
When you've got someone else
Someone else to hold (someone else to hold)
