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
