"Modern Lovers" lyrics

There's a chilling breeze all over town
People talk and the word has got around
Well, I heard it all before
Just like the modern girls and reckless boys
We played our parts in modern love

I need to get you on the phone
Cause I just wanna tell you

I won't let you fall in love
I won't let you fall in love
Like modern lovers do
Cause modern love is cruel

The world around has gotten better
Yet you feel so bad
Just look around you
You gonna have to find my way

You take a dead end street and come crashing down
Blown apart, you been pushed back to the ground
What are you waiting for
Just don't wait up until your head explode
And save your heart from modern love

I need to get you on the phone
Cause I just wanna tell you

I won't let you fall in love
I won't let you fall in love
Like modern lovers do
Cause modern love is cruel
The world around has gotten better
Yet you feel so bad
Just look around you
You gonna have to find my way

Tell me
Don't fail me, talk to me
I know you're out there
Speak to me
Keep talking, stay with me
Just hang in there
We're so careless of all the consequences
Now listen

I won't let you fall in love
I won't let you fall in love
Like modern lovers do
Cause modern love is cruel

Speak to me
Hang in there, stay with me
Speak to me
Hang in there, stay with me
Speak to me, hang in there
Stay with me
Speak to me, yeah
Hang in there
