Mother and Child - James Patrick Dunne

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
