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?
