[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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?

[Outro]
Oh, oh, love and truth
Oh, oh, where are you?
Oh, oh, where are you?
