Drowned World (Substitute For Love) by Madonna

I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things can not 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

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 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

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

Famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heavy danger
Drug that I can try
No ferries 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

And now
I find
I've changed
My mind

This is my religion
