the only thing I know now is I want to be your man.
This is no brief love affair and this is no mistake -
this love is mine to give and my heart is yours to take.

I thought those would be enough.
I had love and I had science,
I thought those would be enough.

and push came to shove.
They say love is never-ending,
and they are telling it true.
They say love is never-ending,
and they are telling it true.
But love can get so tired
it does not know what to do.
Science always has an answer,

Science always has an answer,
