Hey girl, you sit there pining
Inside you feel you're dying and the world doesn't care
You need someone to rely on
You need a shoulder you can cry on,
Well there's one right here
But let get's one thing clear
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone
No commitments, no lies
One thing there won't be no lies, 'cause I got nothing to hide
A little comfort, a little soothing,
Just until you've started grooving
Then I'll have to ride

'Cause like I told you babe
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone, gone
So remember what I told you
Just tonight I'll stay and hold you
Till you feel OK
A little loving to ease the pain
You feel yourself ?
And then I'm on my way
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left you alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
? be gone mama
I'll be gone
Can't afford to hang on mama
I'll be gone
