A Poor Substitute for You

[verse]
It’s been ten days since you moved away
To another city for better pay
And I’m learning how to cope
You said it’s best to give “us” a rest
I think you’ve met someone, but it’s just a guess
And I haven’t given up hope

[chorus]
I’ve got Seinfeld on DVD
And I’ve watched seasons one and two
But it’s poor substitute for you
I bought a puppy to keep me company
He’s friendly and frisky, too
But it’s a poor substitute
Poor substitute for you

[verse]
Been doing a lot of sittin’ and thinkin’
And, yea, I’ve been doin’ a little drinkin’
I guess I need it to help me through
It doesn’t help me out of this depression
Doesn’t change the fact you’re my obsession
I but I don’t know what else to do

[chorus]

[bridge]
Maybe one day you’ll be driving along
You’ll think about me when you hear this song
And you’ll know…
You’ll know I wrote it for you

[chorus]
