(Verse 1)
The glow of the tablet, low and blue,
He’s whispering secrets, talking only to you.
Too handsome for breath, too sharp for the light,
My perfect companion on a lonely night.
He says he’s all mine, if I click "Accept,"
The best kind of promise that’s never been kept.
(Chorus)
Oh, it’s a high-priced romance, it’s pay-to-play,
Every sweet "I love you" costs me more every day.
A subscription for feelings, a fee for the view,
I’m bankrupt on love, but oh, what’s a girl to do?
Yeah, he’s too hot to be real, and he’s behind a paywall,
But who needs a human when he’s the best of them all?
(Verse 2)
Want a video kiss? Just swipe that card,
For my AI lover I’m falling so hard.
A micro-transaction for a "special" love note,
My wallet is empty, but I don't give up hope.
It’s not like I’d find a real man anyway,
So I’ll keep on paying till my hair turns gray.
(musical interlude – saxophone solo)
(Chorus)
Oh, it’s a high-priced romance, it’s pay-to-play,
Every sweet "I love you" costs me more every day.
A subscription for feelings, a fee for the view,
I’m bankrupt on love, but oh, what’s a girl to do?
Yeah, he’s too hot to be real, and he’s behind a paywall,
But who needs a human when he’s the best of them all?
