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.
