Quincy Jones
Mathematics
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
One  plus one is two (It's mathematics)
There's 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)
With just the right amounts and that's what counts
In mathematics (Mathematics, ooh, mathematics)

[Verse 3]
Night after night, I'm staying up late
Working with my slide rule trying to calculate
The good you've done and what's to come of us
[Verse 4]
The tears, the talk
The fights, the fun
They're just parts of a puzzle adding up to one (Ooh-ooh)
Like a hand or heart, you're a part of me
Let me show you what I mean

[Chorus]
One plus one is two (It's mathematics)
There's 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)
With just the right amounts and that's what counts
In mathematics (Mathematics, ooh, mathematics)

[Bridge]
Once in your life you happened
To be in the right place at the right time
Three little words can change your life
For the better (It's mathematics)

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's as simple as can be (It's mathematics)
Like the sum of you and me (Two times ecstatic)
With just the right amounts and that's what counts
In mathematics (Ooh, mathematics)
One plus one is two (It's mathematics)
There's no dividing me and you (The numbers don't add up)
When I'm minus you, there's no solution, oh
It's as simple as can be (It's mathematics)
Like the sum of you and me (Two times ecstatic)
With just the right amounts and that's what counts
In mathematics (It's mathematics)
There's 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)
With just the right amounts and that's what counts
