I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly a game
Some things cannot be boughtI got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools so gladlyAnd now I find
I've changed my mindThe face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for loveI traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so aloneI had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt so happyThe face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for loveFamous 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 sparkThe face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for loveNow I find I've changed my mind
This is my religion
