Robot Man
Dreaming of a Robot Love: Connie Francis's Yearning Melody
Lyrics
I want a robot man to hold me tight
Expresses the desire for a robot partner to embrace tightly.
One that I can count on every si-ingle night
Desires a reliable companion every single night.
He wouldn't run around like other guys
Wants a robot man who won't be unfaithful like other men.
I wouldn't have to listen to his alibis
Desires a relationship without the need to hear excuses or alibis.
A little robot man to call my own
Expresses the wish for a personal robot man.
I'd never have to worry that he wou-ouldn't phone
Desires a partner who would always call and eliminate worries.
He'd never dance with anyone but me
Expects exclusivity in dancing, limited to the singer.
I'd just have to wind him with a robot key
Envisions winding the robot man with a key, suggesting control.
I'd have a steady da-ate (yay-yay-yay-yay)
Anticipates a consistent and reliable dating schedule.
Seven nights a wee-eek (yay-yay-yay-yay)
Expects the robot man's companionship seven nights a week.
And we would never fi-ight (yay-yay-yay-yay)
Desires a conflict-free relationship with no fights.
'Cause it would be impossible for him to speak
Emphasizes the impossibility of verbal communication with the robot man.
Don't want a real live boy, they give me grief
Rejects real live boys due to the emotional pain they cause.
Always make me cry into my ha-andkerchief
Highlights the emotional distress caused by human relationships.
So it's a robot man I'm dreamin' of
Expresses a preference for a robot man in dreams.
Because I can depend upon a robot love, yeah
Values the dependability of love from a robot partner.
Mmm, we'd have a steady da-ate (yay-yay-yay-yay)
Reiterates the desire for a consistent and steady dating routine.
Seven nights a wee-eek (yay-yay-yay-yay)
Affirms the expectation of companionship every night of the week.
And we would never fi-ight (yay-yay-yay-yay)
Desires a conflict-free relationship with the robot man.
'Cause it would be impossible for him to speak
Reiterates the lack of communication with the robot man.
Don't want a real live boy, they give me grief
Rejects real live boys due to the emotional pain they cause.
Always make me cry into a ha-andkerchief
Highlights the emotional distress caused by human relationships.
So it's a robot man I'm dreamin' of
Expresses a preference for a robot man in dreams.
Because I can depend upon a robot love
Values the dependability of love from a robot partner.
Yeah, just hope I can depend upon a robot love
Expresses hope in depending on a robot's love.
I mean, because I can depend upon a robot love
Reiterates the dependence on a robot's love.
Do-oo, because I can depend upon a robot love
Further emphasizes the reliance on a robot's love.
Oh-oh, just hope I can depend upon a robot love
Repeats the hope for dependable love from a robot.
I mean, because I can depend upon a robot love [fade]
Concludes with a fading repetition of the theme of depending on a robot's love.
