Lyrics

The question of the next century
Is not who you love
But what you love
And how it makes you feel
When I first brought you home
I couldn't wait to turn you on
You were the answer to my prayers
My lonely days would be done
You came with a guarantee
I was told I would be pleased
Whatever my heart desires
I could punch on your keys, you said:
I'm programmed for love
I have no other function
You are the operator
Chosen at this junction
I'm programmed for love
Please consult my database
For further instructions
Check my packing case (case)
Mmm, a computer of my own
With all the computer jive
With hardware, software, a floppy disk
And one heck of a tape drive (Tape drive)
I won't have to go to school
To learn what makes you cool
You came with a memory
And a manual six inches thick
Uh, you said:
I'm programmed for love
I have no other function
You are the operator
Chosen at this junction
I'm programmed for love
Please consult my database
For further instructions
Check my packing case (case)
I'm programmed for love
I have no other function
You are the operator
Chosen at this junction
I'm programmed for love
Please consult my database
For further instructions
Check my packing case (case)
I'm programmed for love
I'm programmed for love
If I have a problem
I'll just look at your read out
And play with your keys
Until I'm all, keyed out
I'm programmed for love
I have no other function
You are the operator
Chosen at this junction
I'm programmed for love
Please consult my database
For further instructions
Check my packing case (case)
I'm programmed for love
