Irene Cara – Romance '83 lyrics

Staring at the images on my TV set
Switching channels, haven't found the
Right station yet
What I need is Romance '83

I try to fix the tuning on my radio
Getting up I trip over the remote control
What I need is Romance '83

I thought that love and kindness were
The things we all need
A bit of sensitivity
Just living life simple was the thing to
Believe in
I don't really know really know anymore
Sharing all the human feelings deep inside
Instead we hide behind machines
I really wonder if there can ever be a
Place for a little
A little bit of Romance '83

Input, output, microprocessor delay
VCI, VCA, modulation for decay
DIN sync into control
The invert mode for stereo
Set mode channels two selectors
Audio schematic vectors

Your busy when I call you up on the telephone
You're playing those Atari games and
I'm here alone
What I need is Romance '83

Sometimes it makes me think if I can
Ever be free
Life is no longer a challenge and there's
No mystery
What I need is Romance '83

I look back on a time when the world
Was so young
A beautiful ecology
A flowing river and a bright beautiful
Sun was enough
Now I don't really know anymore
Satisfied with only the land and the trees
Instead we mass-produce machines
I really wonder if there can ever be a
Place for a little
A little bit of Romance '83

What I need is Romance '84
