I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things can not 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

Chorus.

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 baskin in my spotlight
I never felt so happy

Chorus:

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

mmmmmmmmmm....
oooooooooooooooo....

No 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

mmmmmmmmmmmm......

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......

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

And now I find I´ve changed my mind
This is my religion.....
