Verse 1

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
    

Verse 2

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 - 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
Mmmm.......... ohoohoooo....mmmhh

Bridge

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

Chorus

Mmm-mmm-
mmm-mmm-mmm-mmmm-mmm
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love, mmmhmm

Ending

Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
 
 
 
And now I find
I've changed my mind
N.C.
This is my religion
