Sam You´ve been waiting much too long now It looks like she´s not coming home Sam You´ve been loyal,true and faithful All this time with being 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 Chorus: I´ll be your substitute Whenever you want me,ooh ooh Don´t you know I´ll be your substitute Whenever you need me,ooh ooh Sam Everyday you waited for her I´ve been waiting 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 will come ´Cause you can´t keep on lying on her If she doesn´t come back If she doesn´t come back Chorus Each day by your window You sit and sigh hoping 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 Chorus
