Dating White Boys in the 21st Century Lyrics

I got a pocketful of callers at my fingertips

In the digital age where love is just a click away

But I've begun to feel the allure decay

You'd think with uninhibited access to the worldwide profferings

On a little machine

You could utilize the algorithmic filterings

To find a living being with a personality

But that's the problem with dating white boys in the 21st century

Have all of the good ones flown away

Did they die back in 1998

I'm searching for love but it always ends up as search history

Man to play the game it makes me sick

I guess that's the problem with

Dating white boys in the 21st century

Trying to find the one in the ones and zeroes

The infinite void and there's nobody here, no

I don't wanna be just a number in the sea on a screen

Is there a way better, 'cause I wanna take it

If I still had a heart I'm sure they'd break it clean

Got a roster choc-full of heavy hitters

Sitting pretty, lapping those waves of dopamine

Had bouts with knockouts, but I can't amount

It seems no one counts what matters to me

In this twisted match, the players all lose

I can't afford being invested in you

Holding out for a win

I'm not keeping score

But no one holds open the door anymore and

That's the problem with dating white boys in the 21st century

Looking to level up

But the code's full of bugs and

That's when you know you're plum out of luck

Dating white boys in the 21st century

Trying to find a hero in the zeroes and ones

I'm over getting cheated by somebody's son and

I don't wanna be just a number in the sea on a screen

If this is my fate then I wanna escape it

I don't have a heart if I did they would break it clean

In two

So I maintain my dream meet cute

I'm walking down a street

In the August heat

I turn around to see

That he's standing across from me

And we lock eyes

And it's midnight

And I know it's trite

But we both know it's something meant to be

That's not reality

Dating white boys in the 21st century

Looking for the one in the ones and zeroes

Waiting for love and that's all that she wrote

I don't wanna be just a number in the sea on screen

I know what they say, throw a smile on a fake it

What's left of my heart can't take it

(I can't take it, take it)

I'm hating white boys in the 21st century

Looking for Mr. Right to come change my mind

I'm trying to revive after letting it die

But I don't wanna be a pixel product, a fib with a gleam

The future is now, and I'm wanting out

I'm dating white boys in the 21st century
