I hear a knock on my door
 
 I hear the telephone ring
 
 But I can't break away
 
 I'm just ignoring all those things
 
 My eyes are glued to my TV
 
 You're up there making love to me
 
  
  I fell in love with you
 
 I'm watching your love scenes
 
 I had to have you every night upon my TV screen
 
 I rent your tape again and again
 
 I never want this love to end
  
 
 [Chorus:]
 
 Video idol
 
 Every night I escape with your video tape
 
 You're my video idol
 
 Everything will be right
 
 When I watch you tonight
 
 You're my video idol (video idol)
 
 Now there's nobody else
 
 I've got you to myself
 
 You're my video idol
 
 Whooooooooooooooooooooooo
  
 
 My TV comes to life
 
 When you come on the screen
 
 I keep on watching though
 
 I know I'm living in a dream
 
 Tonight when all my work is through
 
 I'll have my fantasy with you
  
 
 [Repeat chorus]
  
 
 Maybe someday I'm gonna meet you
 
 And then our loving will be for real
 
 But till then I'll have to pretend
 
 About how good
 
 How good it would feel (Hey!)
  
 
 [Repeat chorus]
 
 Video idol (Whoooooo)
