Various Artists - Substitute lyrics

[Intro] You think we look pretty good together You think my shoes are made of leather [Chorus 1] But I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young but I'm just back dated, yeah [Chorus 2] Substitute your lies for facts I see right through your plastic mac I look all white but my dad was black My brand new suit's really made out of sack [Bridge] I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The North side of my town faced East and the east was facing South [Pre-Chorus] And now you dare to look me in the eye Those crocodile tears are what you cry It's a genuine problem you won't try To work it out at all, just pa** it by, pa** it by [Chorus 3] Substitute me for him Substitute my Coke for gin Substitute you for my Mum At least I'll get my washing done [Chorus 1] I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young but I'm just back dated, yeah [Bridge] I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The North side of my town faced East and the east was facing South [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus 3] [Chorus 2]
