Gregory Isaacs
Substitute
[Verse 1]
Susan told me to leave
Saying she's a woman who’s cute
All of a sudden she said how much she found a substitute

[Chorus]
But I'm just letting you know that I'm still around
I'll be your bridge over troubled waters
So you won’t get drown
Substitute is gonna put you down

[Verse 2]
I heard you're smoking cigarettes by the pack
Since you told me to leave and don’t come back

[Chorus]
It wasn't my fault, you were the one who said we're through
Now you're drinking liquor which you didn't do
But I'll be around, so you won't get drown
The substitute is gonna put you down (Oh-oh-oh)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I heard you're smoking cigarettes by the pack
Since you told me to leave and don’t come back
[Chorus]
It wasn't my fault, you were the one who said we're through
Now you're drinking liquor which you didn't do
But I'll be around, so you won't get drown
The substitute is gonna put you down (Oh-oh-oh)
I'll be around, you won't get drown

[Verse 3]
Whenever time you're in trouble
Just call my name and I'll be on the double

[Outro]
And you won't get drowned
The substitute is gonna put you down
But I'll be around, you won't get drown
I'll be around
