Substitute Lover - Half Pint

steadily readily really and truly — no second fiddle

steadily readily really and truly — first class

She call my name from coast to coast

telling people that she needs me the most

whenever she passes by she always finds herself

with another guy

she will go as far to say that I’m her superstar

But girl, oh girl

I’m not a substitute lover, oh no

Oh girl

Don’t take me for no substitute lover, oh no

Whenever I call you on the telephone

there’s someone to say you’re not at home

girl you always have an alliby

it seems to me you have another guy

don’t pretend that you have a love ladder

are you caught up in your rapture?

you see girl, oh girl

don’t take me for no substitute lover, oh no

oh girl, oh girl

I’m not a substitute lover, oh no

Get yourself together and change your act

with your behaviour you might get caught in a trap

sometime I wonder if you love is really true

by ya actions …

oh girl, oh girl

I’m not a substitute lover, oh no

oh girl, oh girl

don’t take me for a substitute lover, oh no

Steadily, readily really and truly

don’t play me no second fiddle

steadily readily really and truly

first class love is what I need

She call my name from coast to coast

telling people that she needs me the most

whenever she passes by she always finds herself

with another guy

she will go as far to say that I’m her superstar

But girl, oh girl

I’m not a substitute lover, oh no

Oh girl, oh girl

Don’t take me for no substitute lover, oh no

Whenever I call you on the telephone

there’s someone to say you’re not at home

girl you always have an alliby

it seems to me you have another guy

sometimes I wonder if your love is really true

by your actions…

oh girl, oh girl

don’t take me for no substitute lover, oh no…(fade)
