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
(If she doesn´t come back)
I´ll be your substitute
Wherever 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 going through

I´ll wait until my chances occur
Cuz you can´t keep relyin´ on her
If she doesn´t come back
(If she doesn´t come back)
I´ll be your substitute
Wherever you want me
Don´t you know I´ll be your substitute
Whenever you need me

Each day by your window
You sit inside, hopin´ 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
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
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
