MODERN LOVERS
Music & Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys
You gave me a red heart
On Valentine's Day
You called me sweetheart
What more could you say
If that's not loving
I don't know of any other way
If that's not loving
Well, then it must be a one-act play
Modern lovers, modern times
Times gettin' tougher but
love's not blind, no, no, no
Modern lovers, with their modern ways
So contemporary,
modern lovers
You gave me a big kiss
You were so sincere
I really couldn't resist
When you held me near
If that's not loving
Well then I'm not a man
If that's not loving
Well, then we better
get a better understanding
Modern lovers, modern times
Times gettin' tougher but
my love's not blind, no, no, no
Modern lovers, with their
modern ways
So contemporary, modern lovers
