Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stiddly-diddly, really and truly, no second fiddle

Stiddly-diddly, really and truly, first class

[Verse 2]

She call my name from coast to coast

Telling people that she needs me the most

Whenever she passes by she always find herself with another guy

She will go as far to say that I'm her superstar

[Verse 3]

But girl, oh girl

I'm not a substitute lover, oh no

Oh girl

Don't take me for no substitute lover, oh no

[Verse 4]

Whenever I call you on the telephone

There's someone to say you're not at home

Girl, you always have an alibi

It seems to me you have another guy

Don't pretend to climb your love ladder

Are you caught up in your rapture?

[Verse 5]

You see, girl, oh girl

Don't take me for no substitute lover, oh no

Oh girl, oh girl

I'm not a substitute lover, oh no

[Verse 6]

Get yourself together and change your act

With your behavior you might get caught in a trap

Sometime I wonder if your love is really true

Buy you actions, little girl, you won't get through

[Verse 7]

Oh girl, oh girl

I'm not a substitute lover, oh no

Oh girl, oh girl

Don't take me for no substitute lover, oh no

[Verse 8]

Stiddly-diddly, really and truly, no play me no second fiddle

Stiddly-diddly, really and truly, first class love is what I need

[Verse 9]

She call my name from coast to coast

Telling people that she needs me the most

Whenever she passes by she always find herself with another guy

She will go as far to say that I'm her superstar

[Verse 10]

But girl, oh girl

Don't take me for no substitute lover, oh no

Oh girl, oh girl

I'm not a substitute lover, oh no

[Verse 11]

Whenever I call you on the telephone

There's someone to say you're not at home

You always have an alibi

It seems to me you have another guy

Sometime I wonder if you love is really true

By your actions, little girl, you won't get through

[Verse 12]

Oh girl, oh girl

Don't take me for no substitute lover, oh no

Oh no

Oh girl, oh girl

I'm not a substitute lover, oh no
