Ooh, baby, baby
Ooh the way you need that lady
Ooh you've got it bad (really got it bad)
And the way she treats you
Baby makes me mad
(Makes me mad)
Yeah the way she takes you in
Makes me wanna cry
(She's always tellin' lies)
Out of sight I'm only looking in
My hands are tied
I'll tell you now
I'm a substitute who loves you baby
A fool who hangs around
I wanna substitute I'm going crazy
Watching he bringing you down
Shame, shame, shame
Three's a crowd
Ooh if she appreciated you
I'd step aside
(Why don't you realize)
And it's not as if she's even satisfied (satisfied)
Shame, shame, shame, shame
Three's a crowd
Shame, shame, shame, shame
Three's a crowd
I'll tell you now
I'm a substitute who loves you baby
A fool who hangs around
I wanna substitute I'm going crazy
Watching he bringing you down
She's the main attraction
Ooh I've got direction
But no connection
She gets all the action
Ooh and boy she knows it
How could she do that thing to me?
She's the main attrction
Ooh, ooh, ooh, determination
I won't be shaken
She gets all the action
Yeah that's why a fire
Is burnin' up inside of me
I'm a substitute who loves you baby
A fool who hangs around
I wanna substitute I'm going crazy
Watching he bringing you down
Repeat last verse to fade.
