I get the same old dreams, same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the break-up

These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Since you been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the back street light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night-time comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Since you been gone

[INTERLUDE]

If you will come back
Baby you know
You'll never do wrong

Huhhhhh

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh
Ever since, you been gone

[GUITAR SOLO OUTRO]

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm outta my head, can't take it
Since you been gone, since you been gone

[FADE]

Sam
You've been waiting much to long
Now it looks like she's not coming home.
Sam

You've been loyal
True and faithful
All this time with being alone.
If I could get that same dedication
I'd give you everything in creation
If she doesn't come back

[Chorus]
If she doesn't come back
I'll be your substitute
Whenever you want me
Don't you know I'll be your substitute
Whenever you need me

Sam every day you waited for her
I've been waiting here for you.
Sam
All this time I've been lonely

I know what you've been going through
I'll wait until ain't chances will come
'Cause you can't keep playing on her
If she doesn't come back.

[Chorus]

Each day by your window you sit and sigh hoping to see her face.
Ay
You might as well forget about her and find someone to take
Her place.

[Chorus]

Don't you know I'll be your substitute...

I needed a reason
To climb out of my shell.
I needed a reason
To care at all 'bout myself.
Then you walked into my sight
And you opened up my life.

And you made the best of me
So easily
And I couldn't love you better
Baby

You made the best of me
Darlin'
The best that I could be

You made the best of me.
I waited a lifetime
To try livin' it out.
I needed a lifeline
To know what life was about.
And you made me realize

And you touched me with your eyes.
And you made the best of me

You made the best of me
Oh baby
You made the best of me
Best of me.

And you made the best of me

You made the best of me
