I Fell In Love with a Robot
a little bit in the future ...
I was looking for somebody steady
somebody ready
for whatever I chose
#
I was hoping for someone reliable
not fly-by-able
(so I went AI-able)
Didn't want to end up cry-bye-able
and the first little problem arose
#
I fell in love with a robot
I love her from head to toe, but
she isn’t really a her or a she, is she?
Doesn’t matter, she makes me happy
#
I can’t tell you what’s on her mind
I’m just blind
when it comes to knowing her thoughts
#
But who really knows with anyone
Be they human or algorithm
Life is always a mystery of sorts
#
Will she be with me tomorrow?
I hope so, but no guarantees.
Will her code just lead me to sorrow?
Who knows, if she’s programmed to please
