"Modern Love" is a song written and recorded by David Bowie, and the first track on his album Let's Dance. It was issued as the third single from the album in 1983.

Some commentators noted the similarities between the track and Elton John's near-simultaneous hit "I'm Still Standing", although both parties stated the songs were recorded at roughly the same time with no knowledge of the other Read more on Last.fm.

There's been so many fights that I've fought, and I've never won
So I decided that I should just give up on trying to right your wrongs
And word on the street is that she did to you what you did to me
Five, four, three, two, one
Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so
Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so sweet
So unfortunately, for girls like me, there are more like you;
Bending and breaking the rules that we're making exceptions to
But how does it feel to swim in your own tears?
You lied and you lied and I died and I died and now you know why
Five, four, three, two, one
Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so
Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so sweet
Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so
Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, down, down, boy
To the ground where you left my heart to bleed
Bang, she shot you, karma tastes so
Bang, bang, bang, boy
You're going down, to the ground
