When I wake up I wonder where you'd get your energy Then one day you showed me your battery I found you in a trash can In Japan One whirr of your drive and I knew I'd be your man Just help me understand. Why can't you see? Why? Why why why...? Why do you feel so cold when I hold you close? You'll never die... You'll remain seventeen forever as I go You know that she can fly Fights like a samurai I've seen her soaring through the midnight sky She's leaving me behind I wanna hold her arm-cannon If I can, and Take her away when she's treated like a weapon I don't want her to go through that again Why? Why why why...? Why does she feel so cold when I hold her close? She'll never die... She'll remain seventeen forever as I go My girlfriend is a robot I know she'll never get caught by the gestapo

If you lie next to me Don't you see we can hear the words that Were never meant to be Look up at the sky! Unleash my tie! I'll stay with you, beautiful, till the end of the night It doesn't have to end, we can still be friends I'll hold you to the morning, we can start a trend You can stay my pal! I'll keep you in line! We can stay together girl until the end of time I will marry you I will stay true Put the ring on your finger I'll put it on mine We can stay forever girl: Until the end of time --keep it in line! I think about you every time I shut My eyes I love your hair, which is really neat! I love you from your eyes down to the soles of your feet When you're alone at night, you should be with me We can stay together us two can become a 'we' Put the ring on your finger I'll put it on mine We can stay together girl Until the end of time! Until the end of... time... Who you wanna be? You can be you I will remain me Meet me tonight, if you've heard my rhyme Just leave him girl stick with me till the end of time Maybe one day! Maybe ONE day! You don't have to believe, you just have to see That I was meant for you You were forever meant for me I will marry you I will stay true You put the ring on your finger, I'll put it on mine We can stay together girl Until the end of time Until the end of time.

In my head... She sets my heart on fire, I aspire to McIntyre (OH MY GAWD!!) JASON: (Alright, Rob, out on the porch, we gotta talk) Let her go! Take it from me, bro Beth is totally out of this world But she's also out of your league, man There'll be more girls like her in Japan ROB: No, I don't think that's so I've slept with other girls, Beth was special It might have been love! JASON: It was just one night! ROB: It was NOT just one night! It meant the WORLD to me I've liked this girl since the beginning of HISTORY I wanted her to be my wife and bear my PROGENY Leave me alone! Just let me be... Beth and Travis, in her bed... She sets my heart on fire, I aspire to McIntyre (I hate you, Travis) BETH: Look, Rob... I guess we're gonna go. Good luck in Japan, alright? ROB: Yeah, good luck TONIGHT, Travis. JASON: Whoa, what was that on the roof? REPORTER: We are getting reports that New York is under attack by a creature of unknown origin. It's ravaging through the city.
