[Verse 1]
She tells her boat to stand by
She tells her car to stand by
She tells her plane to stand by
But nobody knows (She's a standby)
She's a standby for life
[Chorus]
Standby for life, standby for life
Somebody up there is giving her a runaround
Standby for life, standby for life
Somebody up there is giving her a runaround
[Verse 2]
She tells her men to stand by
She tells her friends to stand by
She tells her world to stand by
But nobody knows
She's a standby for life
[Chorus]
Standby for life, standby for life
Somebody up there is giving her a runaround
Standby for life, standby for life
Somebody up there is giving her a runaround
[Bridge]
Yellow girl, yellow girl, yellow girl
When will you learn?
Your life is sharp as a knife
But remember, it cuts both ways
[Chorus]
Standby for death, standby for death
Somebody down there is giving her a runaround
Standby for death, standby for death
Somebody down there is giving her a runaround
(Yellow girl) Somebody down there is giving her a runaround
Somebody down there is giving her a runaround
[Outro]
Yellow girl, yellow girl
When will you learn?
Your life is sharp as a knife
(Every day's a Sunday for yellow girl)
But remember, it cuts both ways
