You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall, but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just backdated, yeah
(Substitute) me for him
(Substitute) my coke for gin
(Substitute) you for my mom
(Substitute) at least I'll get my washing done
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east and east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all, but just pass it by, pass it by
(Substitute) your lies for fact
I see right through your plastic Mac (substitute)
I've traveled before, but oh, my feet walked back (substitute)
My fine-looking suit is really made out of sack (substitute)
I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall, but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated

(Substitute) my coke for gin
(Substitute) you for my mom
At least I'll get my washing done (substitute)
(Substitute) your lies for fact
I see right through your plastic Mac (substitute)
I look real thin, but I wanna be fat
My fine-looking suit is really made out of sack
