I think you're cute my name is Ashley

And I work at the computer store

That's what I never say to Kyle

The barista at the coffee shop next door

I watch him sadly from the counter

Where I always pick the wobbly stool

He hands me

My latte

And smirks in

This hot way

But I just

Cannot play cool

The clear and logical solution

Is to send a robot in my place

A robot modeled after me except that

She can deal with Kyle face to face

Been working on her 40 weeks or so

With barely time to sleep or eat

Her parts are

Built custom

All that's lеft

Are just some

Last circuits

I must completе

Android Ashley

I wish I were you

Instructions tell you what to do

And if you fail you can't feel blue

Android Ashley

When you're good to go

Maybe then at last I'll know

How to fix the bugs in Ashley 1.0

The final chip arrived today so

I install it in the vacant port

I solder in the last connections

Hit the power switch

And pray there's not a short

She whirs to life

Her optic sensors turn my way

I wonder what they see

She holds out

Her hand to

Accept my command

Ooh, I have made

A brand new me

Android Ashley

I wish I were you

Instructions tell you what to do

And if you fail you can't feel blue

Android Ashley

Now you're good to go

Maybe soon at last I'll know

How to fix the bugs in Ashley 1.0

She walks up to the counter

Run program talk to Kyle

Sub-routine order latte

Call function wave and smile

Parse input 'Hey, how are you?'

Play text to voice 'I'm fine'

Parse input 'You seem different'

And suddenly I see the flaw in my design

If I wrote this program perfectly

I won't need to make corrections

But if Kyle falls for Robot Me

He'll never love my imperfections

So I abort the program

And quickly call her back

I start the shutdown process

But then she turns to me

Before the screen goes black

Human Ashley

I wish I were you

No one can tell you what to do

The things you feel are real and true

Human Ashley

Do not envy me

You know all that life can be

I wish I knew how it feels to be so free

So I see Kyle the barista

At the coffee shop he looks my way

I think you're cute

My name is Ashley

And I work at the computer store

I say
