Lyrics Ain't No Substitute (BomKrash 12") - Papa Dee

I've got to get you by, I've got to get you by
I've got to get you by, I've got to get you by
I've got to get you by, I've got to get you by

I've got to get you by, I've got to get you by

I've got to get you by, baby

It's been quite some time since we broke up
But you're still on my mind, ooh
Everything I do reminds me of you, yeah
Somehow you're with me all the time

No "Miss Pretty-face" could ever take your place
No matter how she tries, oh no
The more I try to forget the worse it gets
And I just had to realize

There ain't no substitute for your love
There ain't no substitute for your love
There ain't no substitute for your love
Nobody can take your place
No, no, no, nobody can take your place
No, no way

Because I'm missing your lovin'
You know I need your sweet lovin', baby girl
Pretty girls come and pretty girls go
But they could never be the star of my show

I can feel their palm in mine
Just can't leave the memories behind me
To get over you, that wouldn't be easy
Because no pretty girl can get to me
But they don't got your style or your personality
Compared to you every girl is D.B.C.B
And them common girl couldn't ever be with me because

There ain't no substitute for your love (believe it, girl)
There ain't no substitute for your love (no, no, no way)
There ain't no substitute for your love
Nobody can take your place (nobody can take your place)
No, no, no, nobody can take your place
No, no, no, nobody can take your place
Baby girl

I've got to get you by, I've got to get you by
I've got to get you by, I've got to get you by
I've got to get you by, I've got to get you by
I've got to get you by, I've got to get you by

When I think about the good times we shared and how much we cared
I ask myself how we could go wrong, hey
Some people said that we were meant to be
You and me, perfect harmony
So why couldn't we just carry on?

No matter what I do, there ain't no getting over you
And God knows I'm trying, yeah-yeah
No "Miss Pretty-face" could ever take your place
'Cause it's you I want by my side

There ain't no substitute for your love
There ain't no substitute for your love
There ain't no substitute for your love
Nobody can take your place (nobody can take your place)
No, no, no, nobody can take your place
No, no way

There ain't no substitute for your love
There ain't no substitute for your love
There ain't no substitute for your love
Nobody can take your place
No, no, no, nobody can take your place
No way

There ain't no substitute, there ain't no substitute
No, no substitute for your love
There ain't no substitute, there ain't no substitute
No, no substitute for your love (no substitute for your love)
There ain't no substitute, there ain't no substitute
No, no substitute for your love (you got to come back to me)
There ain't no substitute, there ain't no substitute
No, no substitute for your love

There ain't no substitute, there ain't no substitute
No, no substitute for your love (no, no way, I just wanna be with you)
There ain't no substitute, there ain't no substitute
No, no substitute for your love
