[Verse 1]
When you told me we’d be together again
Did you know I believed in the words you said?
Did you think I knew, you said it to her too?
Oh, it’s a modern world full of people just like you

[Verse 2]
Are our relationships nothing but stocks and bonds?
Do you calculate all the friends you have lost?
Must we saturate ourselves?
It does nothing for you, it does nothing for your health

[Chorus]
What can you say when the world turns grey?
It’s such a shame
If you'd ask me, baby, I'd do anything for you
If you ask me, baby, I'd do anything for you

[Verse 3]
It’s a modern world full of broken scheming hearts
That we fill with words, but we don’t mean them anymore
It’s an ego-troth, and it’s faster than before
Is there no confidence? Is there no patience anymore?

[Chorus]
What can you say when the worlds turn grey?
It’s such a shame
If you'd ask me, baby, I'd do anything for you
If you'd ask me, baby, I'd do anything for you
