Oh no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
What if I said, love was a lie though
It was more like hate with a eye closed
And the other eye had the eye rolled
That's contempt and ignorance, I know
But what do I know?
Only thing that I seen was the inside of a blindfold
And you just as blind as me
So how I look? Asking you where do I go
I and I keep high hope alive though
That loves not a lie it just likes to lie low
Likes to hide right there in plain sight
And you got to find it with your eyes, closed
And in the dark, you see the part, of your partner, that's the heart
If you die it's like apartheid
We can bring it back to the
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
No, it's not designed to make you feel love
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
Oh no, yeah
On second thought leave apartheid in the grave
But the heart part, that can be saved
The hard part's making sure it don't break into little sharp pieces that are hard to replace
Hard to find spare arteries these days
In decent shape, and know things decay
And at these rates you're gon' need to be paid
Like 3D wage just to see D. Wade
To the place that sells these parts
That you couldn't keep safe from the street art
So why would we waste our art on your mistake?
When you was driving reckless, didn't pump these brakes
Hate to have to shoot you down
A fine running heart makes a soothing sound
It's junkyard love in your future, pal
Didn't appreciate it then, bet you do
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
(Yeah, yeah, make you feel)
And in the futuristic love will be reduced to physics
Computer digits made by robots
That use statistics, algorithms, and group logistics
The mood-resistant downloadable thing that's used specific
Easily updated with few commitments
Can find it's way home if you forget it
Say, maybe on a starship tour
Heard a knock at your starship door
It was the girl that you had met at the starship bar
Had a dance on the starship floor
But then you got starship sick
So you had to run to the starship store
And then you got those starship pills
But when you back she wasn't there no more
She says, "Hope you got a starsuit at the starship store
Maybe we can take a trip to take a look at the stars around parsec 4"
And it was the most beautiful thing you both had ever seen in your lives before
And she pulled out her love, so you reached down in your starsuit for
But your pockets empty, now the moments passing
It'll probably never happen like this again
I guess it didn't work out for you in the end
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
It's not designed to make you feel that way, now, baby (oh no)
Oh, no, baby
