No Substitute — текст песни (Hooker John Lee)

I wanna tell you a true story
the facts of life
`Cause I know all about it,
`cause I been through it a many times
Ain`t no substitute, there`s no substitute,
substitute for love
When your woman gone,
there`s nothin` else can,
can take her place
But there`s no substitute, substitute for love
No, no
Love will make you gamble
Love will make you drink
Make you stay out all night long,
lookin` for love
But there`s no, no substitute,
substitute, substitute for love
I wanna tell you a story,
true, true, true story about love
Many times, many times, over `n over, over in life,
so many people have tried, tried, to get a substitute
An` it just don`t work, work on love
You may not be good looking,
you may not be so fine
But love, love, love love, love, love,
is a burning thing
It`s a burning thing
I know, I know, I know, I know,
I been down, down, in a ring of fire
Lookin` for a love,
I couldn`t find, I couldn`t find a substitute,
uh, for love, for love, I cried, cried
I cried, cried but it just wasn`t there,
just wasn`t there
