[Intro]
(Hey baby, I'm in town and I thought I'd give you a call. Maybe we could get together, have dinner, go to a show, maybe go to a museum and some art galleries. Get to know each other, slowly, over time. Don't be nervous, baby.)
I'm not. And... No, thanks. 
This must be France or something. 
(Hotel de Vie, can you hold a minute please?)
No, I cannot. 
(Hotel de Vie, how can I help you?)
Hello, is this the Hotel de Vie?
(Yes.) Could I have room 417, please?
(Yes, just a minute please.)
(Yeah?)
Hi. I've uh, I'm coming down to your hotel. We've got to talk. Buy condoms. 

[Chorus]
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah

[Verse 1]
I've come to your hotel room looking like a boy
No makeup, my hair's a mess, I don't want to be coy
I'm here to present something to you
And to see how you feel about it
It's now or we're through
I'm not looking to make friends
I'm not interested in who you are
Or getting to know you, going to art galleries or museums
I just want to know if we can make good loving together
And get out of here if we can't
I find that time is just speeding by
And I just don't have time for having my time speedin' by
And thieves keep eatin' my time (Ooh yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm startin' at zero (Oh I sure am)
I'm startin' at zero, yeah (I, I, I)
I'm startin' at zero, yeah (I'm just learning too)
I'm startin' at zero, yeah

[Verse 2]
So how do you feel about it?
Just uh
How do you feel about me arriving here with just one goal?
The goal being the possibility of going straight to soul-to-soul?
And there's only way that I'll know if we can meet there
It's to uh, just to uh
Touch me
Touch
Yeah, that'll do alright
Okay, one two three

[Chorus]
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah

[Verse 3]
I want to double-check
Touch me
Yeah
What room is this?
[Pre-Chorus]
(Trying to help me to get it off)
Straight to the heart
Straight to the heart
(Oh man, that's the hardest song I've ever done)
Straight to the heart
Straight to the heart

[Chorus]
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
This is how I choose to live my life
This is how I choose to live my life

[Verse 4]
Okay, so I didn't say it too well, but
The intent that I came to your hotel room with
Is one of s—
Respect for you
Coming from a place of respect to another human being
Being straight ahead
Not playing those games
I don't want to do the dance
You picked the wrong girl
You picked the wrong girl (You picked the wrong girl)
You picked the wrong girl (You picked the wrong girl)
I wanna go, I wanna go
You picked the wrong girl (You picked the wrong girl)
[Pre-Chorus]
You picked the wrong girl (Straight to the heart)
You picked the wrong girl (You picked the wrong girl)
(Straight to the heart)
You picked the wrong girl (You picked the wrong girl)
I'm not looking for friends (Straight to the heart)
I'm not looking for love
I don't know what love is (Straight to the heart)
I just want to connect with someone
And I want to connect right now

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
I'm startin' at zero, yeah
