I wanna date before the internet
Before Raya gave these boys a god complex
Before the days of a"you up?" text
How'd we ever let it get this pathetic
Some kid's wondering how his parents met
Well"it all started when I slid in her DMs"
Modern romance is long gone, she's dead
Not saying"I don't get it"
Just think I've hit my limit
But God I wish I could get that love from Hollywood
Gives me his jacket when I'm out in the cold
And doesn't use me for the people I know
I want that 90's love like Mariah Carey
I know that you'll"Always Be My Baby"
When I"Close My Eyes" you are my"Fantasy"
I'll say it now"Thank God I Found You"
90's love like Whitney Houston"Lover for Life" when"I Have Nothing"
I know you'll answer when"My Heart is Calling"
So I'm checking out of this"Heartbreak Hotel"
How'd we date before the internet?
I'd miss being compared to people I've never met
And boys still liking pictures of their exes
I know I sound pedantic, unhopelessly romantic
But, I don't even need a picket fence
Just someone who wants a little more than sex
Cause I'm not down to be your damn object
I just want something dramatic
Like something out the classics
But, God I wish I could get that love from Hollywood
Someone to kiss me when we're out in the rain
And doesn't convince me that I'm insane
I want that 90's love on MTV
Something like JT & Britney
Like No Doubt and Gwen Stefani
You make my"World Go Round"
I'm so"Happy Now?"
90's love like TLC
The kind that loves me even when I'm"Unpretty"
Someone to be my"Baby-Baby-Baby"
Boys"Come On Down""No Scrubs" allowed
Retrospective 90's love through the eyes of Gen-Z
I rep Generation-X love sucked equally
Sunflower dresses, distressed fishnets, and Doc Martins
Sparking spliffs, watching South Park, cracking up at Cartman
Homeboy's car smells like blunts and Drakkar Noir
Mary J is on repeat she's searching for"Real Love"
Sipping Zima, singing every word in"Santeria"
If you do not know the lyrics"See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya!"
But God I wish I could get that love from Hollywood
Gives me his jacket when I'm out in the cold
And doesn't use me for the people I know
I want that 90's love like Mariah Carey
I know that you'll"Always Be My Baby"
When I"Close My Eyes" you are my"Fantasy"
I'll say it now"Thank God I Found You"
90's love like Whitney Houston"Lover for Life" when"I Have Nothing"
I know you'll answer when"My Heart is Calling"
So I'm checking out of this"Heartbreak Hotel"
