Verse: My girl went away,
And said she knew I'd miss her ev'ry night and day.
I got so lonely that I just had to look around,
I wish you'd see what I have found!

Chorus: Sweet substitute, sweet substitute,
She tells me that she's mine all mine,
Does anything I tell her 'cause love is blind.
She's got her lovin' ways, she's got my head in a daze,
My new recruit is might sweet and cute,
And I crazy 'bout my substitute, (don't want any regulars),
I'm crazy 'bout my substitute.
