No Substitute

If you got the urge and got the time
open your bottle and I'll get mine
maybe we'll even tell a lie or two.
Well, talked about women, talked about men
Started drinking and playing gin
Three sheets in the wind but I'm still wantin' you

There ain't no substitute
No one else will do
You've got me and I don't have you
and there ain't no substitute

Polished one bottle and still had mine
Runnin' out of yours and getting blind
Fell outta my chair when I dropped a deuce.
Yeah, helped me up and sat me down
He started pouring another round
Yeah, drunk as a skunk but I'm still wantin' you.
There ain't no substitute
No one else will do
You've got me and I don't have you
and there ain't no substitute

Cussed like a sailor and passed out
Wanted a smoke but I ran out
Reached in his pocket and pulled out one or two
One was a doobie, one was a straight
I got confused and lit my face
The fire's out now but I'm still wantin' you

There ain't no substitute
No one else will do
You've got me and I don't have you
and there ain't no substitute
