You faked sick this morning You ruined my plans I'm all dolled up with nowhere to go You gave me no warning I'll cover this time
Go get ready for the show I'm already donning The cheesy grin In a second I'm your second, your vice president You wouldn't believe it The raves I get For playing a role
I wasn't meant for I'm used to it by now I'm immune to it somehow I'm a substitute you I'm a substitute you
I am your stand-in For some of your stunts Stand aside while I get hurt doing the hard stuff Understudy The lead role I'm not you but I could be you In this lighting In this lighting
I'm used to it by now I'm immune to it somehow I'm a substitute you I'm a substitute you
But you know, the hat is too big And the gloves are too tight But I know the role I will be you tonight
I'm used to it by now I'm immune to it somehow I'm a substitute you I'm a substitute you
