I traded fame for love Without a second thought It all became a silly a game Some things cannot be bought I got exactly what I asked for Wanted it so badly Running, rushing back for more I suffered fools so gladly And now I find I've changed my mind The face of you My substitute for love My substitute for love Should I wait for you My substitute for love My substitute for love I traveled round the world Looking for a home I found myself in crowded rooms Feeling so alone I had so many lovers Who settled for the thrill Of basking in my spotlight I never felt so happy The face of you My substitute for love My substitute for love Should I wait for you My substitute for love My substitute for love Famous faces, far off places Trinkets I can buy No handsome stranger, heady danger Drug that I can try No ferris wheel, no heart to steal No laughter in the dark No one-night stand, no far-off land No fire that I can spark The face of you My substitute for love My substitute for love Should I wait for you My substitute for love My substitute for love Now I find I've changed my mind This is my religion
