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 baskin' 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 Mmm, ohh, mmm
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
Mmm, mmm Mmm, mmm
The face of you My substitute for love My substitute for love, mmm 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
