Hey girl, you sit there pining
Inside you feel you're dying and the world doesn't care
You need someone to rely on
You need a shoulder you can cry on
Well there's one right here
But let get's one thing clear
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone
No commitments, no ties
One thing there won't be no lies, coz I got nothing to hide
A little comfort, a little soothing
Just until you've start improving
Then I'll have to ride
Coz like I told you babe
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone, gone
So remember what I told you
Just tonight I'll stay and hold you
Till you feel ok
A little loving to ease the pain
You feel yourself again
And then I'm on my way
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left you alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
? ? ? ? be gone mama
I'll be gone
Can't afford to hang on mama
I'll be gone
Inside you feel you're dying and the world doesn't care
You need someone to rely on
You need a shoulder you can cry on
Well there's one right here
But let get's one thing clear
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone
No commitments, no ties
One thing there won't be no lies, coz I got nothing to hide
A little comfort, a little soothing
Just until you've start improving
Then I'll have to ride
Coz like I told you babe
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone, gone
So remember what I told you
Just tonight I'll stay and hold you
Till you feel ok
A little loving to ease the pain
You feel yourself again
And then I'm on my way
I ain't no substitution for the guy
Who left you alone
I'll be here with you tonight
But tomorrow I'll be gone, gone, gone
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
? ? ? ? be gone mama
I'll be gone
Can't afford to hang on mama
I'll be gone
