Translation
Bilingual
I wanna tell you a true story
The facts of life
ย
'Cause I know all about it
'Cause I been through it a many times
ย
Ain't no substitute, there's no substitute
Substitute for love
ย
When your woman gone
There's nothin' else can
Can take her place
But there's no substitute, substitute for love
No, no
ย
Love will make you gamble
Love will make you drink
Make you stay out all night long
Lookin' for love
But there's no, no substitute
Substitute, substitute for love
ย
I wanna tell you a story
True, true, true story about love
Many times, many times, over 'n over, over in life
So many people have tried, tried, to get a substitute
And it just don't work, work on love
You may not be good-looking
You may not be so fine
But love, love, love
Love, love, love
Is a burning thing
It's a burning thing
ย
I know, I know, I know, I know
I been down, down, in a ring of fire
Nothin' but love
I couldn't find, I couldn't find a substitute
Uh, for love, for love, I cried, cried
I cried, cried, but it just wasn't there
Just wasn't there
