"Modern Romance" lyrics

"Modern Romance"

I put an ad In a local paper
"Modern woman, seeking modern man"
I've collected all the data
I've decided, it's my only chance
And when I find that person, baby
We'll only listen to the modern bands
We'll only watch modern TV
You'll only catch us wearing modern brands

Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, oh
Well, at first we'll take it slow
But if you wanna speed it up a little
I'll be ready to go

I can be the one in your covers, baby
I can take you out, you don't have to stay
We don't stand a chance
In modern romance
I could make your other lovers hate me
You can't get enough when you get a taste
We don't stand a chance
In modern romance

Ah, ah, ah, ah
If you're looking for love
Just call me
Call me

I'll meet your dog, you can meet my parents
I'll let it slide, but I'm kind of a cat person
I'll cut your bangs with the kitchen scissors
We do the big shop on a Thursday

I, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, I
I will hold you when you cry
But if you wanna speed it up a little
I'll be ready tonight

I can be the one in your covers, baby
I can take you out, you don't have to stay
We don't stand a chance
In modern romance
I could make your other lovers hate me
You can't get enough when you get a taste
We don't stand a chance
In modern romance

You asked for this
You come here often?
What do you do for work?
Honey, please don't cry
I was tryna flirt
You got any siblings?
Do you have any pets?
Oh, you DJ?
It was going so well
Here's a compliment
Now here's another one
Here's a funny joke
Let's split the bill
Here's my number
This was fun, yeah
You've got charisma
And sex appeal

I can be the one in your covers, baby
I can take you out, you don't have to stay
We don't stand a chance
In modern romance
I could make your other lovers hate me
You can't get enough when you get a taste
We don't stand a chance (Never stand a chance)
In modern romance (Ha-ha-ha, that's a funny joke)

Ah, ah, ah, ah (Yeah, you think I'm real cool)
If you're looking for love (Yeah, cool, uh-huh, cool)
Just call me
Call me
