Artificial Heart

(album: High Priority - 1985)

Artificial heart, baby
Artificial heart, baby

Must have had a broken heart before
And found a way to fix it
By borrowing the love from other hearts
And never giving any back

Your father must have been a real stone cutter
And he molded you in his image
'Cause you're a chip off a hardened heart
A heart with no feeling

All I ask of you, love me, love me
Touch and kiss and hold me like you want me
But instead you're just a man with an artificial heart
Artificial heart, baby, artificial heart, baby
Baby, baby, baby

Must have been a lonely heart to start with
To be so cold
Artificial hearts cannot be broken
You can never love anyone

How can you expect someone to give love
When they're not receiving?
Every person has a breaking point
A point of no return

So I've ask of you to love me, love me
Touch and kiss and hold me like you want me
But instead you're just a man with an artificial heart
Artificial heart, baby, artificial heart, baby
Ooh...

All I ask of you, love me, love me
Touch and kiss and hold me like you want me
But instead you're just a man with an artificial heart

Love me, love
Touch and kiss and hold me like you want me
But instead you're just a man with an artificial heart
Artificial heart, baby, artificial heart, baby
Baby, baby, baby, now beat for me

Artificial, artificial, artificial
Artificial, artificial, artificial
Ooh...

All I ask of you, love me, love me
Touch and kiss and hold me like you want me
But instead you're just a man with an artificial heart
Artificial heart, baby, artificial heart, baby
