lyrics

Lyrics:

If we break you down you’re made of sugars that’s why you’re sweet to me,
And if we break me down I’m made of Carbon Like every living thing.
I’m not a fancy dancer, you’re not a troubled blonde,
But with some hybridization we make one fine double bond.

You make me weak force in the knees, I’m attracted to your polarity,
And the more I know you the more I want to tie the knot of our string theories.
You make my blood Boyle. That’s B. O. Y. L. E.
He was the king of hot gas back in the 17th century

You and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free tonight?

Love can be an acid, and love can be a base.
Love can be a gas or solid, even supercritical state.
Oh, love is a reaction that needs no catalyst.
It makes our life so golden, unlike those alchemists.

You and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free tonight?

O-O, O-O, (oxygen)
O-O, O-O-O, (ozone)
O-O, N-N-O, (Ha ha ha!)
O-O, Oh no!

When the universe is ending, and we’re heading for the big freeze,
When it’s minus 459.67 degrees,
After all the words are spoken, after all the songs are sang,
We’ll release our love’s energy and start another big bang!

You and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free?
Yeah you and me and chemistry. Why don’t we break our bonds free tonight?
