I know when to go out
And when to stay in
Get things done.

I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye.

But I try, I try.

There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye

But I try, I try.

Refrein:
Never gonna fall for
Modern love - walks beside me
Modern love - walks on by
Modern love - gets me to the church on time
Church on time - terrifies me
Church on time - makes me party
Church on time - puts my trust in God and man
God and man - no confessions
God and man - no religion
God and man - don't believe in modern love.

It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye.

But I try, I try.

Refrein (2x).

Modern love - Modern love (12x).

Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me
Modern love - Modern love, walks on by
(Repeat 3 more times).
