Modern Romance - Jane Wiedlin

Running from one to the next

Searching for some kind of elusive truth

Decisions we make

Heartless and devastating

Come to the point

Stop contemplating

Decide forever

For good or better

What’s so great about modern romance

What’s so neat about fooling around

Taking a heart and playing lost and found

You can keep it, your modern romance

Casualties of the casual

Litter the ground like war victims

These choices we take

Thoughtless and heartbreaking

Make a commitment

Stop running away

Decide forever

For good or better

What’s so great about modern romance

What’s so neat about fooling around

Taking a heart and running it into the ground

(Into the ground)

You can keep it your modern romance

(Modern romance, modern romance)

You can keep it, your modern romance

I guess no one can imagine

A future anymore

But there must be something permanent

There must be something good

Something good in store for us

Hey, what’s so great about modern romance

What’s so neat about fooling around

Taking a heart and playing lost and found

(Lost and found)

You can keep it, that modern romance

(Modern romance, modern romance)

I don’t want no modern romance

What’s so great about modern romance

What’s so neat about fooling around

Taking a heart and running it into the ground

(Into the ground)

You can keep, you can keep

You can keep modern romance

(Modern romance, modern romance)

I don’t want no modern romance

(Modern romance, modern romance)

(Modern romance)

You can keep your modern romance
