It never changes day or night 
Someone has been hurt 
Another's heart is broken 
Another crashed and burned. 

It is all make believe 
But do they see that? 
No, for I have been bitten too  
He loves me not, he loves me. 

Sweet nothings whispered 
Into microphones on chat 
Others in E-mails back and forth 
A lover bites the dust. 

Tap, tap, tap, ICQ is knocking 
A stranger has come on-line 
Another soul mate in the making? 
Nay, 'tis another victim,  
On here to try his luck.
