Love In the 21st Century

Look at all the people lined up outside

This must be the place

I see beautiful women dressed in black

Every one a pretty face

Red lips

Tight hips

Hey, little girl

You make my heart do flips

Baby please

Don't tease

Can't you see I love you?

I'm on my knees

Somethin' is wrong with this picture

She doesn't like the way I dance

Why is everybody just standin' around

Lookin' for true romance?

I'm lookin' at you

And what do I see?

Love in the 21st Century

I know what you're thinkin'

What's in it for me?

That's love in the 21st Century

Love in the 21st Century

Tell me, do I look like a desperate man?

Champagne and flowers in my hand

I don't know her, she don't know me

She's my video date, she's my destiny

Do you like to party?

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Do you wanna settle down?

(No, no, no)

Do you like my kind of music?

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Do you wanna mess around?

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Something is wrong with this picture

She doesn't even look the same

Whatever a poor boy does these days

Love is still a losin' game

I'm looking at you

You're looking at me

It's love in the 21st Century

We're livin' in pictures

We want what we see

That's love in the 21st Century

Where do you go?

What do you do?

How can somebody make his dreams come true?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

What does everybody

Want desperately?

Love in the 21st Century

We need love in the 21st Century

She wants to party

(Hi, my name is Kitty)

Love on the line

(The cost of this call is two dollars per minute)

She wants to party

(I'm very lonely)

Love on the line

(You sound like a big, strong man)

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

It's the same sad story all over this world

Every man lookin' for the perfect girl

He sees her every day in a magazine

Sees her every night on a TV screen

Somethin' is wrong with this picture

Has everybody gone insane?

Whatever a poor boy does these days

You can't find love and it's a cryin' shame

I can't touch you

And you can't touch me

It's love in the 21st Century

It's all imagination

And fantasy

That's love in the 21st Century

You can get it by mail

You can get it by phone

You can get it late at night when you're all alone

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

What does everybody

Want desperately?

Love in the 21st Century

We need love in the 21st Century, that's right

We need love, love, love

Ow!
