Dating in the 21st Century

Now we have the online game of which dating app to choose
Should I swipe left or right either way I'll probably lose

If there's plenty of fish in the sea why can't I match with someone new
Please take me back to 1989
When all I needed was a telephone line

So you take the plunge and go on that blind date
With the guy you though who not 6'2 but actually 5'8
His picture-perfect profile is the image I was sold
How can someone in just one week go bold
Yesterday he was young but now he's old

Take me back in time
Take me back in time
Where the men where men and the talkback then was chat up's with sleazy lines
Where the only device you had to check was the answer machine on the side
But now dating in the 21st century, is always online Ain't my kind of life

Sometimes you get that witty one, that essay that comes through
Talking all about how beautiful you are and what he'd do...
If he was to get the privilege of taking you on a date
You realise it's all copy and paste
Cause he's just sent the (Exact) same thing to your mate

Take me back in time
Take me back in time
Where the men where men and the talkback then was chat up's with sleazy lines
Where the only device you had to check was the answer machine on the side
But now dating in the 21st century, is always online Ain't my kind of life

Now don't get me wrong sometimes it works out for the best
The decent guy, that real-life man that swears he's not like the rest
Ask's your for his number just so he can find out more
You feel like your just starting to click
Then suddenly he sends a photo of his... hmm

Take me back in time
Take me back in time
Where the men where men and the talkback then was chat up's with sleazy lines
Where the only device you had to check was the answer machine on the side

Now dating in the 21st is a waste of time
