Lyrics

I know you're wondering who is the guy
Your friends are talking about
The one that comes right on in
As soon as you go out
Well, all I can say, he's heaven sent
Oh, oh, baby
He's your replacement
He's your replacement
You thought you had it made in the shade
'Cause I didn't go nowhere
I didn't have to go out searching
Answers to my prayers came here
You wanna know where I get my rent
Oh, oh, baby
From your replacement
From your replacement
While you were out making your love
You didn't care what I was doing, no, no
While you were doing your part-time thing
Your whole world was going through it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, baby
I had to get a replacement for you, baby
Ooh, somebody to take your place
Oh, baby, baby, believe me now
You did so many things in the dark
That I knew would come to light
Still I kept right on fooling myself
Thinking you'd change and do right, but you didn't
Now you're wondering where my love went
Oh, oh, baby
To your replacement
To your replacement
To your replacement
Oh, baby, I had to get somebody else
To do your homework for you
Ooh, ooh, your replacement
