I traded fame for love Without a second thought
It all became a silly game Some things cannot be bought
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 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
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
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
