I traded fame for love without a second thought It all became a silly game, some things cannot be bought I got exactly what I asked for, wanted it so badly Went running, rushing back for more I suffered fools so gladly And now I find I changed my mind I found a new religion
Face the truth No substitute for love I will wait for you No 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 basking in my spotlight I never felt fulfilled And now I find I changed my mind I found a new religion
Face the truth No substitute for love I will wait for you No substitute for love Face the truth No substitute for love
I’ve had a change of heart I’ll make a brand new start No famous faces, far off places, trinkets I can’t buy No handsome stranger, heady danger, drug that I can’t try No ferris wheel, no heart to steal, laughter in the dark No one night stand, no far off land, fire that I can’t spark
Face the truth No substitute for love I will wait for you No substitute for love Face the truth No substitute for love Substitute for love
Face the truth No substitute for love I will wait for you No substitute for love Face the truth No substitute for love No substitute for love
