Love In The Modern Age

He was a soldier of fortune, she turns up when a fortune’s made
He’s got an eye for the main chance, she’s got her eye on a Chevrolet
He could tell by the way that she held her drink
There was more on her mind than the kitchen sink
Giving him the eye, giving him the wink
He knew he had to have her so he went and bought a mink

That’s love in the modern age
Love in the modern age
You just won’t score till you open up the door
For love in the modern age

He’s gonna eat her for breakfast, she’s gonna take him for what he’s got
No one has any illusions, it’s all above board so they know what’s what
You see, they use, he, she and it use. Give some, take some, can’t seen to be used
Heads you win tails you lose
Use up all the readies then you wind up with the blues

Now it’s time to think about the future, now it’s time to think about a lifetime plan
They know where they want to get to, they don’t want to be an also ran
Nuclear family, mortgage, alimony
Put a bit away for a well-earned holiday
It pays to think ahead, you know it’s funny
If you get caught short ‘cause you need a bit of money
For love in the modern age
