I Keep Changing the Faces
(lyrics and music by James Seals and Brian Whitcomb, 1980)
From the album THE LONGEST ROAD (1980).
Only the faces change but, oh but the pain is the same when you're in love with love.
Just like a long lost friend who just stops to say hello and then is gone.
Always looking, always looking for the best thing in town.
Always needing, but never gettin', never enough to go around.
I keep changing the faces, but the feelin's not there. No.
I keep changing the faces, but the love is not there.
Distant voices sometimes call, in the night I hear them all. Too bad they never knew.
Counterfeits and worthless fools, guess I broke all the rules to find my way to you.
But now I'm leaving, oh yes I'm leaving, I've got to find something new.
Now it's over, it's really over. Tell me what I'm gonna do. 'Cause
I keep changing the faces, but the feelin's not there.
I keep changing the faces, but the love, love, love is not there.
I keep changing the faces, but the feelin's not there.
I keep changing the faces, but the love, love, love is not there.

La, la, la. . . (repeat chorus)
