Yours Truly, 2095 Lyrics

(2095, 2095, 2095, 2095)
(I love you, sincerely)
(Yours truly, yours truly)

I sent a message to another time
But as the days unwind, this I just can't believe
I send a note across another plane
Maybe it's all a game, but this I just can't conceive
(Can you hear me?)

I drive the very latest hover car
I don't know where you are, but I miss you so much till then
I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do, but she is an IBM

(2095, 2095, 2095, 2095)
(I love you, sincerely)
(Yours truly, yours truly)

She's only programmed to be very nice
But she's as cold as ice, whenever I get too near
She tells me that she likes me very much, but when I try to touch
She makes it all too clear

She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology, but she has a heart of stone
She has an IQ of one thousand and one
She has a jump suit on and she's also a telephone

(2095, 2095, 2095, 2095)
(I love you, sincerely)
(Yours truly, yours truly)

Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want? (Is it what you really want?)
Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want?

I realize that it must seem so strange
That time has rearranged, but time has the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind
She tries to be unkind, she knows nothing of our world

Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know, for all she says, "Is that what you want?"
Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace
And kiss her interface, until then I'll leave her alone

(I love you, sincerely)
(Yours truly, yours truly)

Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want? (Is it what you really want?)
Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want?

Is that what you want?
