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)
