Lyrics

Modern Day Apprentice

[Intro]

I'm a modern day apprentice for your love

I'm a modern day apprentice for your love

[Chorus]

If I have to work for free, it'll be alright with me

I'm a modern day apprentice for your love

If I have to work all night for your love

If I have to work all night for your love

If I have to work all night, girl, it'll be alright

I'm a modern day apprentice for your love

[Verse]

And I won't write a few new pages

Till your book of love you'll see

What I write on those pages

Will help you work with me

[Outro]

I'm a modern day apprentice for your love

I'm a modern day apprentice for your love

I'm a modern day apprentice for your love
