Sam, you've been waitin'

much too long now

it looks like she's

not comin' home

Sam, you've been loyal

true and faithful

all this time

with bein' 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

don't you know

I'll be your substitute

whenever you need me

Sam, every day

you waited for her

I've been waitin'

here for you

Sam, all this time

I've been lonely

I know what you've

been goin' through

I'll wait until my

chances have come

'cause you can't

keep relyin' on her

If she doesn't come back...

I'll be your substitute

whenever you want me

don't you know

I'll be your substitute

whenever you need me

Each day by your window

you sit and sigh

hopin' to see her face

Oh, you might as well

forget about her

and find someone

to take her place...

I'll be your substitute

whenever you want me

don't you know

I'll be your substitute

whenever you need me

Don't you know

I'll be your substitute

whenever you want me

don't you know

I'll be your substitute

whenever you need me

Don't you know

I'll be your substitute

whenever you want me

don't you know

I'll be your substitute

whenever you need me
