Lyrics Isaac Hayes

Isaac Hayes

Someone Who Will Take The Place of You

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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)

Oh yeah

(Someone's gonna replace you, baby

Someone's gonna replace you, baby)
