[Verse 1]
Somehow he changes, somehow I broke his heart
We had arranged, he come in and play his part
But he wanted something more between us, something I just could not do
Cause I left my heart with someone that I been tryna hold onto
[Chorus]
So I guess he was my part time sometime meantime in between time
But I guess I wasted his time cause hes leaving me
He was my substitute lover, my substitute lover
He was my substitute lover, he don't love me no more
He was my substitute sometimes lover, my substitute sometimes lover, my substitute lover
He don't love me no more
[Verse 2]
He gave me everything a girl could ask
But he couldn't stick around while I gave someone else a second chance
He said I only called when I need him, to act like I was in love
But when he looked inside my heart was empty and he said he had enough
[Chorus]
So I guess he was my part time sometime meantime in between time
But I guess I wasted his time cause hes leaving me
He was my substitute lover, my substitute lover
He was my substitute lover, he don't love me no more
He was my substitute sometimes lover, my substitute sometimes lover, my substitute lover
He don't love me no more
