She says what? She doesn’t like your new haircut? Way too long in the back? – its all right! She comes and goes She doesn’t like your faded clothes Hey you’re sleazier than most but it’s all right! She can still change her mind And stay the night Stay the night
You’re a substitute for the real deal A substitute for the real deal That she wants so bad She wants so bad
She says so She doesn’t like your rock ‘n’ roll ‘Cause it makes her feel old but it’s all right She comes and goes She doesn’t like your fading clothes You look cheaper than most but it’s all right! She can still change her mind And stay the night Stay the night
You’re a substitute for the real deal A substitute for the real deal That she wants so bad She wants so bad
You killed an elephant to find an ant You made a point that came and went You’re a substitute for the real deal Such a substitute for the real deal
