Gregory Isaacs - Substitute Lyrics
Whoa...
Suzan told me to leave
Saying she's a woman who's cute
All of a sudden she said
But I'm just letting you know that I'm still around
I'll be your bridge over troubled water
So you won't get drowned
Substitute is gonna put you down
I heard you're smoking cigarettes by the pack
Since you told me to leave and don't come back
It wasn't my fault
You were the one who said we're through
But I'll be around, so you won't get drowned
Your substitute is gonna put you down
Whoa...
I heard you're smoking cigarettes by the pack
Since you told me to leave and don't come back
It wasn't my fault
You were the one who said we're through
Now you're drinking liquor, which you didn't do
But I'll be around, so you won't get drowned
Your substitute is gonna put you down
I'll be around
You won't get drowned
Whenever time you're in trouble
Just call my name and I'll be on the double
And you won't get drowned
Your substitute is gonna put you down
But I'll be around,
You won't get drowned
I'll be around

Heard this as a kid on LP 45 in Sierra Leone @ 14c Syke Street Freetown. I just stumbled on to it for the 1st time in like 30 years. And like all good songs you hear when young the lyrics stick and just come back like it was only yesterday.
No one touches this these days.
They don't remotely even come in the ballpark.
Love love love it

Suzan told me to leave

But I'm just letting you know that I'll be around
I'll be your bridge over troubled waters
So you won’t get drown
Cause Your substitute's gonna put you down..[alright]
I heard you're smoking cigarettes by the pack
Since you told me to leave and don’t come back [yeah]
It wasn't my fault
You were the one who said we're through
Now you're drinking liquor
Which you didn't do
But I'll be around
So you won't get drown
Cause your substitute's gonna put you down...
Whenever time you're in trouble [alright]
Just call my name and I'll be on the double..
