Lyrics

Prototype

[Verse 1]

Spare parts for everyone

All must go, we're making room

This heavy heart is first to go (First to go)

Hit restart from head to toe (Head to toe)

[Pre-Chorus]

And now is the perfect time (Uh-huh)

To change a few circuits, I (Ooo, ooo!)

Can feel my gears turning (Click, click)

It's never too early

[Chorus]

I can be a better version if you like

'Cause as far as I'm concerned you've only met the prototype

I can be a better version babe, for you and I

If you give it time, give it time

I can be a better version if you like

'Cause as far as I'm concerned you've only met the prototype

I can be a better version babe, for you and I

If you give it time, give it time

[Verse 2]

From the day forward, from this day on (On)

Count on me like a metronome

I'ma be as good as new

No more days in Beta moda

[Pre-Chorus]

And now is the perfect time (Uh-huh)

To change a few circuits, I (Ooo, ooo!)

Can feel my gears turning (Click, click)

It's never too early

[Chorus]

I can be a better version if you like

'Cause as far as I'm concerned you've only met the prototype

I can be a better version babe, for you and I

If you give it time, give it time

I can be a better version if you like

'Cause as far as I'm concerned you've only met the prototype

I can be a better version babe, for you and I

If you give it time, give it time

[Bridge]

You can't receive the message

It won't send, been disconnected

Emotion misdirected, emotion misdirected

You can't receive the message

It won't send, been disconnected

Emotion misdirected, emotion misdirected

[Instrumental Solo]

[Chorus]

I can be a better version if you like (If you like)

'Cause as far as I'm concerned you've only met the prototype

I can be a better version babe, for you and I (Baby)

If you give it time, give it time

I can be a better version if you like

'Cause as far as I'm concerned you've only met the prototype

I can be a better version babe, for you and I

If you give it time
