Mathematics - Melissa Manchester

You ask me how I can be so sure

My love for you will endure

Right here and now

I’ll show you how I know

I just take this pen here in my hand

Set down and equation, understand

By the time we find the bottom line, you’ll see

How much you mean to me

One plus one is two (it's mathematics)

No dividing me and you (the numbers don’t add up)

When I’m minus you

There’s no solution

It’s as simple as can be (it's mathematics)

Like the sum of you and me (two times ecstatic)

Just the right amounts

And that’s what counts

Mathematics (mathematics, oh mathematics)

Night after night, I’m staying up late

Working with my slide rule trying to calculate

The good you’ve done

What’s to come of us

The tears, the talk

The fights, the fun

They’re just parts of a puzzle adding up to one

Like a hand or heart

You’re a part of me

Let me show you what I mean

One plus one is two (it's mathematics)

No dividing me and you (the numbers don’t add up)

When I’m minus you

There’s no solution

It’s as simple as can be (it's mathematics)

Like the sum of you and me (two times ecstatic)

Just the right amounts

And that’s what counts

Mathematics (mathematics, oh mathematics)

Once in your life you happened

To Be in the right place at the right time

Three little words

Can change your mind

Four the better (it's mathematics)

It’s as simple as can be (it's mathematics)

Like the sum of you and me (two times ecstatic)

Just the right amounts

And that’s what counts

Mathematics (oh mathematics)

One plus one is two (it's mathematics)

No dividing me and you (the numbers don’t add up)

When I’m minus you

There’s no solution

It’s as simple as can be (it's mathematics)

Like the sum of you and me (two times ecstatic)

Just the right amounts

And that’s what counts

Mathematics (its mathematics)

No dividing me and you (the numbers don’t add up)

When I’m minus you

There’s no, no solution

It’s as simple as can be (it's mathematics)

Like the sum of you and me (two times ecstatic)

Just the right amounts

And that’s what counts
