[Verse 1]
Don't stare at them for too long
Laugh some, but not too much
And sing the words to that song
But only the chorus
If someone says they want you
Don't flinch, just let them touch
It doesn't really matter what you want

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you wanna be yourself like everyone else
But you've always needed help

[Chorus]
Memorize the manual, you're hopeless on your own
If you make it look natural, then, nobody will know
The story of the robot who knows they'll never be
More than a machine learning how to please

[Verse 2]
Make social calculations
Know when you're supposed to cry
Fake real communication
Rehearse your scripted lines
Is living a performance
Depends how it's defined?
Forget that all your friends don't have to try
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you wanna be yourself like everyone else
But that's not where you excel

[Chorus]
Memorize the manual, you're hopeless on your own
If you make it look natural, then, nobody will know
The story of the robot who knows they'll never be
More than a machine learning how to please
Be just what they expected, don't come as a surprise
They might take you for granted, that's just a part of life
If you stick with the program, maybe one day you'll be
More than a machine learning how to please

[Post-Chorus]
I know you wanna be yourself, oh-ooh
I know you wanna be yourself like everyone else
If you stick with the program, maybe one day you'll be
More than a machine learning how to please

[Outro]
Just memorize the manual, you're hopeless on your own
If you make it look natural, then, nobody will know
The story of the robot who had a secret dream
To be more than a machine, more than a machine
