About I Love You (Miss Robot)

"I Love You (Miss Robot)" is a song written, performed and produced by the Buggles, a duo of Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes, for their 1980 debut studio album The Age of Plastic. It was not released as a single. The song is, according to Downes, about "being on the road and making love to someone you don't really like", although music critics consider the song's subject having to do with a robot. The song was performed live in 2010, as part of the first performance of all the tracks from The Age of Plastic.

I love you miss robot 
electronically 
I love you miss robot 
programmed just to please 

You make love like a metronome 
don't drive to fast when you take me home 
touch the seam on your sliver skin 
i feel so hard when you take me in 

I love you miss robot 
electronically 
I love you miss robot 
programmed just to please 

Talk of love on the telephone 
when your voice fades theres a paying tone 
force a coin and your there again 
and my lonliness is payed away 

I love you miss robot 
programmed just to please 
I love you miss robot 
Electronically 

I must leave miss robot 
give yourself to me 
I love you miss robot 
Do you love me? 

I love you miss robot 
electronically 
I love you miss robot 
Programmed just to please 

I must leave miss robot 
give yourself to me 
I love you miss robot
