I've never known what's good for me
You've been trying to reach me
Don't get offended if I seem absent minded
This modern love wastes me
I've never known what's good for me
This modern love breaks me
Throw your arms around me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
I'll pay for you anytime
To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift
To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift
This modern love wastes me
What are you holding out for?
I get tongue-tied
I'll pay for you anytime
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
What's always in the way?
You bought me a book
And don't get offended if I seem absent minded
And you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Well, jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away
And you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've been paid, I've been paid, I've been
To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift
I've been paid, I've been paid
You've been trying to reach me
I will be yours
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
And baby, you've got to be more demanding
Just keep telling me facts and keep making me smile
Jump right
Jump left
This modern love breaks me
Why so scared of romance?
Baby, you've got to be more discerning
You bought me a book
Why so damn absent-minded?
