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) oh

I dance (shoop, shoop)
I go out on the town and dance (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, 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 these 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, oh
Love and truth, where are you?
Oh, where are you?
Oh, well, love and truth
Oh, where are you?
Love and truth
Oh, where are you?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
