[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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Mmm, ooh, mmm
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]
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Mmmm
Should I wait for you?
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Mmmm

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
The facе of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for lovе
Mmmm
Should I wait for you?
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Mmmm
