Sam
you've been waiting much to 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

Chor: 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

Sam ev'ry day 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 an't chances will come
'Cos you can't keep alying on her
If she doesn't come back

Chor: If she doesn't come back

I'll be your substitute
Whenever you want me

Don't you know I'll be your substitute
When ever you need me

Each day by your window you sit and sigh hoping to see her face
Ay
you might as well forget about her and find someone to take
her place

Chor: If she doesn't come back

I'll be your substitute
When ever you want me

Don't you know I'll be your substitute
When ever you need me

Don't you know I'll be your substitute
