By default by design

Time after time

Maybe you earned it,

Maybe you spurned it

But you got it...

You got it

Call it attraction or charm

Sound the alarm

Maybe you earned it,

Maybe you spurned it

But you got it...

Yes, you got it


Breaking hearts your speciality?

Why did you ever have to come so close to me

Was it love or morbid curiosity?

Either way I'd say that love's a possibility

Come a little closer,

Let me see you in close detail

The object of my affections

Walked off in the other direction


By default by design

Time after time

Maybe you earned it,

Maybe you spurned it

But you got it...

You got it

Call it attraction or charm

Sound the alarm

Maybe you earned it,

Maybe you spurned it

But you got it...

Yes, you got it


Modern day Romeo's,

Modern day Juliet's

Selling their love for a packet of cigarettes

Still I remember the day that we first met...

And yet so far, so good

So what else can we ever expect?

Come a little closer, let me see you in close detail

The object of my affections walked off in the other direction


By default by design

Time after time

Maybe you earned it,

Maybe you spurned it

But you got it...

You got it

Call it attraction or charm

Sound the alarm

Maybe you earned it,

Maybe you spurned it

But you got it...

Yes, you got it
