[Verse 1]
A7
Look at all the people lined up outside, This must be the place
I see beautiful women dressed in black, Everyone a pretty face
Red lips, Tight hips, Hey little girl you make my heart do flips
Baby please, Don't tease, Can't you see I love you I'm on my knees
[Pre-Chorus]

Why is everybody just standing around, Looking for a true romance

A7
Tell me do I look like a desperate man, Champagne and flowers in my hand
I don't know her, She don't know me, She's my video date, She's my destiny
Do you like to party? (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Do you want to settle down? (no, no, no)
Do you like my kind of music? (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Do you wean mess around? (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Where do you go, What do you do, How can somebody make their dreams come true
What does everybody need desperately

A7
It's the same sad story all over this world, Every man looking for the perfect girl
He sees her everyday, In a magazine
Sees here every night on a T.V. screen
[Pre-Chorus]
D/F# G A D/F# G A
Something is wrong with this picture, Has everybody gone insane?

Whatever a poor boy does these days, You can't find love and it's a crying shame
[Chorus]

I can't touch you, You can't touch me
D5 C5 A5
It's love in the twenty first century
It's all imagination and fantasy
D5 C5 A5
That's love in the twenty first century
D5 C5 A5
You can get it by mail, You can get it by phone, You can get it late at night when you're all alone
What does everybody want desperately?

Love in the twenty first century, we need love in the twenty first century
