Is my life not all that I thought it would be?
Is it simply ordinary?
Oh, is it far from all my fantasies?I lie awake (lie awake)
I lie awake at night and brood (poor you)
About the things I never do (oh, no)
And how I′m missing out on love and truth
Oh, love and truth
Why are they so hard to achieve? (To achieve?)
Oh, love and truth
Well, they're such hot commodities but come in such small quantities
Oh, love and truth, where are you?
Oh, where are you, oh?
I dance (a-shoop-shoop)
I go out on the town and dance (a-shoop-shoop)
I go and try to find romance (smooch-smooch)
But all I come home is with empty hands
Oh, boo, hoo, hoo
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, cha-chagrin (chagrin)
Oh, all I really want is love and truth
Oh, love and truth
Why is it that I cannot find it? (Sweet delights)
Oh, love and truth
Well, if everything was up to me
Well, I′d make sure that there was plenty of love and truth
Love and truth, where are you?
Oh, where are you?
Oh, oh, love and truth
Oh, oh, where are you?
Oh, oh, love and truth
Oh, oh, where are you? Oh, oh, oh
