Lyrics
When I was nine, I fell in love
This Peace Corps guy
I waited hours inside his tent with flowers
Which made him laugh, which made me cry
By 13, I gave up trying
I decided I would be a mathematician
'Cause math is real
I memorized a lot of pi
Because addition and subtraction and division
Would never make me feel so stupid with love
I didn't get it
I didn't get it, somehow
Smart with math but stupid with love
I didn't get it
I didn't get it 'til now
Hmm-mm
So thank you, math, for being there
To bring me joy
And thank you, math
'Cause now you've brought me this cute boy
He's like someone from TV
He's like that guy who gives out roses to those women
His clothes, his grooming
And he's a foot away from me with swoopy hair
And shiny eyes that I could swim in
He is live and in the room
And I'm stupid with love
I wanna get it
I wanna get it, but how?
Smart with math but stupid with love
I wanna get it
I didn't get it 'til now
Hmm-mm
I'm astounded and nonplussed
I am filled with calculust
Does this guy work out? He must
All sweaty at the gym
Could that image be more hot?
Let me just enjoy that thought
School was rough but now it's not
'Cause now there's him!
Stupid with love
I didn't get it
I didn't get it somehow
Smart with math but stupid with love
I didn't get it
I didn't get it 'til now
