Is my life not all that I thought it would be?
Is it simply ordinary?
Oh, is it far from all my fantasies?

I lay awake

I lay awake at night and brood
About the things I never do
And how I´m missing out on love and truth

Love and truth
Why are they so hard to achieve
Love and truth
They´re such hot commodities
But come in such small quantities
Love and truth where are you?

I dance
I go out on the town and dance
I go and try to find romance
But all I come home is with empty hands
Oh, boo, hoo, hoo
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, cha-chagrin

But all I really want is love and truth

Oh, love and truth
Why is it that I cannot find these sweet delights
Oh, love and truth
If everything was up to me
I´d make sure that there was plenty of love and truth
Love and truth where are you?
