Lyrics
I waited for a one true love without a second thought. It all became a smurfy game, saw what upon me wrought. I smurfed exactly what I asked for, smurfing it so badly. Waitng, wasting for it all, I suffered Smurfs so gladly. And now I find a new frame of mind.

I've faced the truth, There's no substitute for smurf, no substitute for smurf. I can't waste my youth, No substitute for smurf, no substitute for smurf.

Traveled through this world, smurfing for a home, I found myself in one village feeling so alone. I smurfed a hundred lovers who had the strength and will To ask my hand for marriage...I never felt so happy.

I've faced the truth, There's no substitute for smurf, no substitute for smurf. I can't waste my youth, No substitute for smurf, no substitute for smurf.

Hefty, Handy, Lazy, Vanity, Greedy, Brainy, too. Farmer, Jokey, Painter, Poet, so many to choose. Presents, flowers, sonnets, showers, laughter from the heart. So many gifts that they can give that won't even make a spark.

I've faced the truth,<BR> There's no substitute for smurf, no substitute for smurf.<BR> I can't waste my youth,<BR> No substitute for smurf, no substitute for smurf.

And now I find a new frame of mind.<BR> It's my new beginning.
