Drowned World/ Substitute For Love

Madonna Madonna

(You see)

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

(You see)

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

(You see)

I traveled '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

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
Mmm, mmm

The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love, mmm
Should I wait for you?
My substitute for love
My substitute for love

(You see)

Now I find I've changed my mind
This is my religion
