Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

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
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
Still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye
But I try I try
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
(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) I don't believe in modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
Modern love
(Modern love)
(Modern love)
(Modern love)
(Modern love)
Modern love walks beside me
(Modern love)
Modern love walks on by
(Modern love)
Modern love walks beside me
(Modern love)
Modern love walks on by
(Modern love)
(Modern love)
(Modern love)
(Modern love)
