Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh
I don't want to go out
I don't wanna stay in
Get things done
I catch a paper boy
Things don't really change
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave goodbye
Ah, but I try, Canada
Yes I try
[Verse 2]
It's not really work
Just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try
Yes I try
[Verse 3]
Never gonna fall for
(Modern love)
Walks beside me
(Modern love)
Walks on by
(Modern love)
Gets me to the church on time
(Church on time, church on time)
[Verse 4]
Terrifies me
(Church on time)
Makes me party
(Church on time)
Puts my trust in God and man
(God and man, God and man)
[Verse 5]
No religion
(God and man)
No perdition
(God and man)
Don't believe in modern love, yeah
(Modern love)
[Verse 6]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Hey
[Verse 7]
I catch the paper boy
Things don't really change
I'm lyin' in the rain, I'm never gon' wave
Bye bye
Au revoir, but I try
(But I try)
Yes, I try
(I try)
I try, ain't gonna fall for modern love
(Modern love)
