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
