[Verse 1]
The riviera with the ace of spades
Lost my money on the poker table
A helicopter to the masquerade
Sunset looking marmalade

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The five-one Gs fit on your waist
Like someone painted 'em on
Like a 50s movie star when you hop out the car
Girl, you're Marilyn Monroe

[Chorus]
I got a feeling (feeling)
That you're the one I want
I got a feeling (feeling)
That you're gonna break my heart

[Post-Chorus]
It's a modern love
A modern love
It's a modern love
But she's the one
It's a modern love, you dig?

[Verse 2]
Cleopatra with a crystal ball
A private flight down to Carnival
Head over heels like a somersault
Sunrise, 24-karat gold
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Those ray-ban shades hide your eyes real nice
From our late night escapades
Like a famous centrefold, got the whole world sold
Girl, you're Bettie Page

[Chorus]
I got a feeling, feeling
That you're the one I want
I got a feeling, feeling that you're
Gonna break my heart

[Post-Chorus]
It's modern love
A modern love
It's a modern love
But she's the one
It's a modern love

[Bridge]
Modern love
Throw me by the collar, don't pick me up
Dig your nails deep right into my soul
Don't stop 'til I can't take no more (can't take no more)

Modern love
Throw me by the collar, don't pick me up
Dig your nails deep right into my soul
Don't stop 'til I can't take no more
Don't stop 'til I can't take no more
(Modern love)
Don't stop 'til I can't take no more
(Throw me by the collar, don't pick me up)

Don't stop 'til I can't take no more
(Dig your nails deep right into my soul)
Don't stop 'til I can't take no more
(Don't stop 'til I can't take no more )

[Post-Chorus]
It's modern love
A modern love
It's a modern love
But she's the one (she's the one)
It's a modern love

It's modern love
A modern love
It's a modern love
But she's the one, she's the one

[Pre-Chorus]
I got a feeling (feeling)
That you're the one I want (the one I want)
I got a feeling (feeling)
That you're gonna break my heart
[Chorus]
It's a modern love
A modern love
It's a modern love
But she's the one (she's the one)
It's a modern love
