Downright confusion
that has been my part
I went to see the doctor
he said "Son, it's from the heart"
I went to see my mother
but I guess she wasn't home
I met up with a singer
she said "Keep on moving on"

So I sing what I sing for money & applause
and for a little bit of your loving too
And I do what I do for money & applause
it's a substitute for loving you

Fundamental matters
waiting to be solved
A master of illusion
but basically alone
Have you seen my baby
moving down the track ?
I've got to find my baby
but she keeps on moving fast,
moving fast

So I sing what I sing for money & applause
and for a little bit of your loving too
And I do what I do for money & applause
it's a substitute for loving you

In the early morning
in the broad daylight
and certainly late at night
Have you seen my baby ?
Did she feel allright ?
She moves with the tide

Have you seen my baby
moving down the track ?
I've got to find my baby
but she keeps on moving fast,
moving fast

So I sing what I sing for money & applause
and for a little bit of your loving too
And I do what I do for money & applause
it's a substitute for loving you
So I sing what I sing
And I do what I do
it's a substitute for loving you
(for a little bit of your loving too)
