This Modern Love Lyrics

To be lost in the forest 

To be cut adrift 

You've been trying to reach me 

You bought me a book 

To be lost in the forest 

To be cut adrift 

I've been paid 

I've been paid 



Don't get offended 

If I seem absent minded 

Just keep telling me facts 

And keep making me smile 

Don't get offended 

If I seem absent minded 

I get tongue-tied 

Baby, you've got to be more discerning 

I've never known what's good for me 

Baby, you've got to be more demanding 

I will be yours 



I'll pay for you anytime 



You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness 

Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away 

You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness 

Jump right on 

Baby, you've got to be more discerning 

I've known never known what's good for me 

Baby, you've got to be more demanding 

I will be yours 



What are you holding out for? 

What's always in the way? 

Why so damn absent-minded? 

Why so scared of romance? 



This modern love breaks me 

This modern love wastes me 



Do you wanna come over and kill some time? 

Do you wanna come over and kill some time? 

Do you wanna come over and kill some time? 

Throw your arms around me.
