No Substitute
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hate ya, I hate ya, but when all is said and done
I need ya, I need ya, just tell me where to run
A life without you may as well hand me the gun
Ooh, no, no, no
And I tried to, I tried to date them other dudes
They're perfect, they're perfect 'till I look at you
They give me everything and still it ain't enough
No matter who I choose they don't compare to you
They treat me good and that's cool
But I'll take the bad, no substitute for you
No matter who I choose they don't compare to you
They treat me good and that's cool
But I'll take the bad, no substitute for you
It's deeper, it's deeper than anyone can see
I need to believe ya, you're my philosophy
You give me more than what a thousand lives could teach, oh baby
Love and war is dark on either side
But the ones that fight they feel most alive
You hold me down and yet I feel like I can fly, ooh baby
No matter who I choose they don't compare to you
They treat me good and that's cool
But I'll take the bad, no substitute for you
No matter who I choose they don't compare to you
They treat me good and that's cool
But I'll take the bad, no substitute for you
