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. 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 traveled around 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 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.

Mmmmmm....
Oooooo...
Mmmmmm...

Bridge:
No famous places, 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. Mmmmmm...
Mmmmmm...

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.

Now I find I've changed my mind. This
Is my religion.
