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 program I had ordered from a magazine Are you lonely, are you lost? This voice console is a must I press Execute 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 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 But I was lonely, I was lost Without my little black box I pick up the phone and go Execute 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 I turn to my computer like a friend I need deeper understanding Give me deeper understanding
