Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Unit 3000-21
Is warming, makes a hummin' sound
When its circuits duplicate emotions
And a sense of coldness detaches
As it tries to comfort your sadness
[Chorus]
One more robot learns to be
Something more than a machine
When it tries the way it does
Makes it seem like it can love
'Cause it's hard to say what's real
When you know the way you feel
Is it wrong to think it's love
When it tries the way it does?
[Instrumental]
Feelin' a synthetic kind of love
Dreamin' a sympathetic wish
As the lights blink faster and brighter
[Chorus]
One more robot learns to be
Somethin' more than a machine
When it tries the way it does
Makes it seem like it can love
'Cause it's hard to say what's real
When you know the way you feel
Is it wrong to think it's love
When it tries the way it does?
