You've been acting awful tough lately Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately But inside, you're just a little baby It's okay to say you've got a weak spot You don't always have to be on top Better to be hated Than loved loved loved for what your not You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable You are not a robot You're lovable, so lovable But you're just troubled Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot You've been hanging with the unloved kids Who you never really liked and you never trusted But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins Never committing to anything You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable I am not a robot You're lovable, so lovable But you're just troubled Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Can you teach me how to feel real Can you turn my power on Well, let the drum beat drop Guess what I'm not a robot Guess what I'm not a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
