lyrics

Call me Dr Frankenstein

Can you find me a brain ‘cos I’m building a dreamer
Can you find me a heart ‘cos I’m building a fool
Are you using your eyes ‘cos you clearly can’t see
That I’m building somebody to love me

So I’ll look for a smile, do you know where I’ll find me one
I’ll search out a kiss that would melt through the ice
It’s a new enterprise and I’ve got no degree
But I’m building somebody to love me

They call me Dr Frankenstein. How else can I make someone like you mine?

Do you notice a likeness to someone you know
Her hair is the colour of wild fire and gold
Then look in the mirror, who else could it be
If I’m building somebody to love me.

I don’t understand the science. I’m not medically trained
But I’ve read some books and this love has me clinically insane.

Now I’ll wait for a night when the lighting will strike
An electrical pulse will bring her to life
If it’s not you I’ll have my own forgery
So I’m building somebody to love me.
