Someone Who Will Take the Place of You Lyrics[Verse 1]
You sure you're not gonna change your mind?
You're carrying out your threat this time
My tears will flow when you leave
Why do you wanna do this to me
Right now, there's no one that I can turn to
But somewhere
There's someone who will take the place of you
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby
Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
[Verse 2]
I know it's gonna take some time
Before I get you off my mind
It'll be hard to face the fact that you won't be coming back
Somehow, I'm gonna make it through
'Cause there's someone who will take the place of you
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby
Someone's gonna replace you, baby)

[Verse 3]
The love I have for you is a real love
And it comes right from my heart
We ought to try and correct this thing that's come between us
And turn it into a new and positive start, well
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby) Mmmhmm
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)

[Verse 4]
It's plain to see that you don't care
I'm on the outside of this affair
Now you got the winning hand
But you may need me again
But then I'll be with someone new
Someone who will take the place of you
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby) Mmmhmm
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
[Verse 5]
Somewhere, there's someone
Who's gonna take the place of you, girl
You may walk out on me today, my tears might fall
The heartache (Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Heartache, doesn't always
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
You better think about what you doing, baby
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
It'll be too bad if you change your mind
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
I dare you leave me (Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Right now you've got the winning hand
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Don't let, one day you might meet me again
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
I'm on the outside of this affair
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
It's plain to see, baby, you don't care

[Verse 6]
Somewhere, someone is gonna take the place of you, yeah
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Oh yes, when god made one he made two
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby
Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
She might even be better than you, yeah
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Kisses might be sweeter than yours
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Embrace might be warmer
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Her love might be a little bit better, you better watch out
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
I may have the last laugh after all
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
You better think about it
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Think about what you doing before you walk out the door
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
'Cause when you leave you can't come back no more
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Somewhere, someone's gonna take the place of you, yeah
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Somewhere, somebody's gonna replace you, baby
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
She's gonna be sweeter, and a little more tender than you, yeah
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Someone to understand me, someone to lead me
And to love you
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Yeah hey hey hey hey hey, yeah yeah
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Somewhere, someone is gonna take the place of you baby
So go head on
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Go on, if you don't want me, I show 'em
You in heaven, won't you
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Go on and walk out the door
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
'Cause I can assure you've been replaced already
So go head on and walk out the door
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
You see there's gonna be a guilt to your power
Someone is gonna take the place of you
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
It seems the grass is greener on the other side
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
When you cross over, I'm afraid you in for a mean surprise
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
But out there, it's gonna be a little too late for you, baby
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Hey hey
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
'Cause when I say no, the tears gonna flow
I beg you to stay, but then it's gonna be
A little too late for you, baby
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
Overstays your welcome, so just walk on out the door
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
And the doorknob tapped you on the knock and slapped you
My, my
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
[Outro]
Oh yeah
(Someone's gonna replace you, baby
Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
