"By Default, By Design" - ABC
By default, by design, time after time
Maybe you earned it, maybe you spurned it, but you've got it, yes you've got it
Call it attraction or charm
Sound the alarm
Maybe you earned it, maybe you spurned it, but you've got it, yes you've got it...
Breaking hearts, your specialty
Why did you ever have to come so close to me?
Was it love or morbid curiosity?
Either way I would say love's a definite possibility
Come a little closer, let me see you in close detail,
The object of my affections
Just walked off in the other direction
By default, by design, time after time
Maybe you earned it, maybe you spurned it, but you've got it, yes you've got it
Call it attraction or charm
Sound the alarm
Maybe you earned it, maybe you spurned it, but you've got it, yes you've got it...
Modern day Romeos, modern day Juliets are selling their love for a packet of cigarettes,
But still, I remember the day that we first met, and yet
So far, so good, so what else can we ever expect?
Come a little closer, let me see you in close detail
The object of my affections
has just walked off in the other direction
By default, by design, time after time
Maybe you earned it, maybe you spurned it, but you've got it, yes you've got it
Call it attraction or charm
Sound the alarm
Maybe you earned it, maybe you spurned it, but you've got it, yes you've got it...
