[Verse 1]
As the people here grow colder
I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it
Like a friend
I was loading a new programme
I had ordered from a magazine:
[Pre-Chorus 1]
"Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must"
I press Execute
[Chorus]
"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Hello, I know that you're unhappy
I bring you love and deeper understanding"
[Verse 2]
Well I've never felt such pleasure
Nothing else seemed to matter
I neglected my bodily needs
I did not eat, I did not sleep
The intensity increasing
'Til my family found me and intervened
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I was lonely, I was lost
Without my little black box
I pick up the phone and go, "Execute"
[Chorus]
"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Hello, I know that you're unhappy
I bring you love and deeper understanding"
[Bridge]
"Hello... Hello..."
Love and deeper understanding
I turn to my computer like a friend
"Hello.? Hello..?"
I need deeper understanding
Give me deeper understanding
[Outro]
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to lose you
As the people here grow colder
I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it
Like a friend
I was loading a new programme
I had ordered from a magazine:
[Pre-Chorus 1]
"Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must"
I press Execute
[Chorus]
"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Hello, I know that you're unhappy
I bring you love and deeper understanding"
[Verse 2]
Well I've never felt such pleasure
Nothing else seemed to matter
I neglected my bodily needs
I did not eat, I did not sleep
The intensity increasing
'Til my family found me and intervened
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But I was lonely, I was lost
Without my little black box
I pick up the phone and go, "Execute"
[Chorus]
"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired
I bring you love and deeper understanding
Hello, I know that you're unhappy
I bring you love and deeper understanding"
[Bridge]
"Hello... Hello..."
Love and deeper understanding
I turn to my computer like a friend
"Hello.? Hello..?"
I need deeper understanding
Give me deeper understanding
[Outro]
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to lose you
