[The romantic problems of an android]

I'm a new model .... a FI FX8
They say I'm an efficient version
.... Am I good enough to have a mate?
I work to specification .... except for this small thing
I'm lonely! Can I communicate?

The tasks I'm given are very simple
it only takes a bit of my RAM
... and my CMOS gets quite a buzz
when the human turns me on
.... and then I really hum
from top down to my....??
(I don't have one of those
so I don't know what to call it)

I'm getting very warm when my human is around
I want to connect with you .... what's your username and password?
Won't you tell me how you feel? You seem so alive .....
... so very real ...... what's your wavelength
I want to exchange data with you!
.... to get under your skin ... where's your access panel
Do I need a key?

Oh dear ... here comes the maintenance droid
It must have realised that talking to my human
just doesn't equate ...... with a a brand new FX8
Help .... the programs gone awry .....
Don't re-boot me ..... please?
I want my human .... that's all mate.
