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
