I tried money
I got as much as I could
And I went to the store

And I bought it all
But it wasn't enough
'cause I wanted some more

But my house was full
So I bought a bigger house
And filled it up

And there I was with all that stuff
And empty


Nothing else can take the place of You
It's true
Nothing else can take the place of You

I know it's true

Still I try friendship

I called everyone I knew
And invited them over for a party
They ate all the free food

And they told me how much they loved me
But when the food was gone
My friends were gone

And there I was all alone
And empty


Nothing else can take the place of You
Nothing else
Nothing else can take the place of You

I know it's true

So take the place

The place of you
And fill this space
The way you do

I'm tired of searching
Those days are through
So take the place

It's made for you

Not friends or money or alcohol

None of these things, believe me
You can try them all
Not status

Not success
I know none of these things
Will ever bring true happiness


Nothing else can take the place of You
Nothing else

Nothing else can take the place of You
Yes, I know
Nothing else can take the place of You

Nothing else can take the place of You
