Lyrics Benjamin Clementine

Benjamin Clementine

Mathematics

Silly boy, don't you know that young girl was going to leave

She would have not even stayed even if you two might have meant to be

Don't you bother calling that lady

Or she will tell you what she really needed

Sighting ain't all about the chemistry

But mathematics, mathematics

Simply add 1 to 1 and it will be 2

And so subtract one from two and you are left with you

Now if a ship gets stuck at the north pole

That doesn't mean it's about to join her sister the Titanic

So swallow your pride, won't you feel some guilt?

If you want to cry go ahead, don't you panic

For all we know, tomorrow surely is another day

Come on now, won't you give yourself a break and start all over again

Think mathematics

Think mathematics

Just add 1 to 1 and it will be 2

Then subtract 1 from 2 and you will be left with you now

Left with you now

Only you now

With a little bit of feelings

Subtract you now

From the two now

Only left with you now

And a little bit of feelings

You are a number

Just a number

Added to her past lovers
