I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly 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 travelled 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
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh
No famous places, far off places, trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger, drug that I can try
You help some stranger, head for danger
No ferris wheel, no hart to steal, no laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land, no fire I can spark
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
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 life
This is my religion
