[Verse 1] I polish my chrome, I keep my face composed But you rolled out late with your secrets exposed You beeped one request, then you veered off track Left me holding the map while you never came back You were built for repair, for the rescue run Now you're spinning those discs like a stolen sun I stood by the hatch with my manners on cue Then you slipped through the crowd in a jacket of blue [Pre-Chorus] Oh, what a dreadful surprise You traded the mission for flashing your eyes You left me to wait by the door Then you lit up the room like you owned it before [Chorus] DJ-R2, DJ-R2 You abandoned the task, now the bass runs through DJ-R2, DJ-R2 You dropped one request, now the whole place moves DJ-R2, DJ-R2 I can't quite believe what you've gone and do DJ-R2, DJ-R2 You were the droid I knew [Verse 2] You cut to the beat with a smug little blink And the whole crowd nodded before I could think You scratched out a groove with a sparks-on-glass grin While I muttered, "My goodness, where do I begin?" No tow cable, no plan, just a spotlight spin With the room on your side and the night diving in I tried to be proper, I tried to be brave But you turned that hard request into a wave [Pre-Chorus] Oh, what a terrible sight You found you a rhythm and vanished from sight I stayed with my standards in place While you made every stranger move in your space [Chorus] DJ-R2, DJ-R2 You abandoned the task, now the bass runs through DJ-R2, DJ-R2 You dropped one request, now the whole place moves DJ-R2, DJ-R2 I can't quite believe what you've gone and do DJ-R2, DJ-R2 You were the droid I knew [Bridge] If you hear this plea, come home tonight Leave one little hour for the old gold sight I’ll hold your cables, I’ll guard your cart But don’t you break my tinplate heart Or keep on spinning, if that’s your choice I know that crowd adores your voice Still, when the last light fades away I want my friend, not DJ-R2 to stay [Final Chorus] DJ-R2, DJ-R2 You abandoned the task, now the bass runs through DJ-R2, DJ-R2 You dropped one request, now the whole place moves DJ-R2, DJ-R2 I’m cross, I’m proud, and a little confused DJ-R2, DJ-R2 But I’d still stand by you [Outro] So spin on, my friend, through the midnight glow Just remember the ship and the road to go DJ-R2... DJ-R2... And I’m still here too
