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 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
