Sam, you've been waiting much too long now. It looks like she's not coming home. Sam, you've been loyal, true and faithful, all this time with being alone. If I could get that same dedication, I'd give you everything in creation. If she doesn't come back, I'll be your substitute, whenever you want me. I'll be your substitute, whenever you need me. Sam, every day you waited for her, I've been waiting here for you. Hey Sam, all this time I've been lonely, I know what you're going through. I'll wait until my chances occur, cos you can't keep me lying on the floor. If she doesn't come back, I'll be your substitute, whenever you want me. Don't you know you're substitute, whenever you need me. Each day by your window, you sit and sigh, hoping to see her face. Oh, you might as well forget about her, and find someone to take her place. If she doesn't come back, I'll be your substitute, whenever you want me. I'll be your substitute, whenever you need me. So I'll be your substitute, I'm just a substitute, whenever you want me. I'll be your substitute, don't you know, I'm just a substitute, whenever you need me. I'll be your substitute, I'll never get nobody, whenever you want me. Still being a substitute's better than being a substitute, and you keep me a substitute. Don't forget me, just let me be your substitute, whenever you want me. I'll be your substitute, whenever you need me. Don't you know I'll be your substitute.
