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 you've been alone

If I could get that same dedication
I'd give you everything in creation

If she doesn't come back
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're waiting for her
I've been waiting here for you

Sam

All this time I've been lonely
I know what you've been going through

I'll wait until my chances occur
Cause you can't keep relying on her

If she doesn't come back
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
hoping to see her face
ohh 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
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
