You're just a substitute
Someone to hold in her place
'Cause if I close my eyes
I can still see her face
And I kinda like you
But this sure isn't love
'Cause when I fall asleep
It's her that I dream of
And it's her I want
When I'm alone at night
But you're in my bed
When I turn out the light
So I'll hold you close
But my mind isn't here
It's wandered away
Wishing she was near
You will never be her
I'll never be content
Because inside my heart
I know it's not meant
To be

But my mind isn't here
It's wandered away
Wishing she was near
You will never be her
I'll never be content
Because inside my heart
I know it's not meant
To be
