Sounds like the replacement you purchased is for a "tri-light" type of lamp where there is an extra contact both on the "tri-light" bulb and in the socket itself. one pull of the cord would give you the low filament in the lamp, the next pull the medium filament and the third pull would energize both simultaniously.... instead with a regular bulb you are getting "on,on..off off". you can either replace the lampholder with the proper one OR go and get a tri-light bulb of whatever size you prefer, that way you can save yourself the cost of replacing the socket again but gain the ability to have three different light levels out of that socket if you choose.
