Lyrics
Just A Substitute
words and music by Inigo Figuracion (TAXI member# C-2100-5582)
(verse 1)
She said, "It's a mystery.
Over and over, a part of my history."
She's tired of that used up feeling;
A little girl, more than physically appealing
(middle)
She wrote, "One day I will find, someone respecting my mind."
Her past is over, she's so tired of being alone
Is there someone to fill the need she's never known?
(verse 2)
She tried to catch his eye
No surprise, just a typical guy
But there was one, screaming "Look at me."
"I'll be your man, if only temporarily."
(middle)
She wrote, "One day I will find, someone respecting my mind."
Her past is over, she's so tired of being alone
Is there someone to fill the need she's never known?
(chorus)
Hey girl, I'll be your substitute
Until you find a man that suits you
Just a willing substitute
Give it a try girl, even though I'm not for you
(middle)
She wrote, "One day I will find, someone respecting my mind."
Her past is over, she's so tired of being alone
Is there someone to fill the need she's never known?
(verse 3)
She said, "It's a mystery. Over and over,
A part of my history."
But there was one, screaming, "Look at me.
"I'll be your man, if only temporarily."
(middle)
She wrote, "One day I will find, someone respecting my mind."
Her past is over, she's so tired of being alone
Is there someone to fill the need she's never known?
(chorus)
Hey girl, I'll be your substitute
Until you find a man that suits you
Just a willing substitute
Give it a try girl, even though I'm not that cute...
