I traded fame for love without a second thoughtIt all became a silly game, some things cannot be boughtI got exactly what I asked for, wanted it so badlyRunning, rushing, back for more, I suffered fools so gladlyAnd now I find, I’ve changed my mind
The face of you, my substitute for loveMy substitute for loveShould I wait for you, my substitute for loveMy substitute for love
Traveled ’round the worldLooking for a homeI found myself in crowded roomsFeeling so aloneI had so many loversWho’ve settled for the thrillBasking in my spotlightI never felt so happy
The face of you, my substitute for loveMy substitute for loveShould I wait for you, my substitute for loveMy substitute for love
Famous faces, far off places, trinkets I can buyNo handsome stranger, heady danger, drug that I can tryNo ferris wheel, no heart to steal, no laughter in the darkNo one-night-stand, no far off land, no fire that I can spark
The face of you, my substitute for loveMy substitute for loveShould I wait for you, my substitute for loveMy substitute for love
And now I findI’ve changed my mind
This is my religion
