I'm programmed for love
I have no other function
You are the operator

I'm programmed for love
I'm programmed for love
If I have a problem
I'll just look at your read out
And play with your keys
Until I'm all, keyed out
I'm programmed for love
I have no other function
You are the operator
Chosen at this junction
I'm programmed for love
Please consult my database

Check my packing case (case)
