Chemistry

I remember when I found out about chemistry
It was a long, long way from here
I was old enough to want it, but younger than I wanted to be
Suddenly, my mission was clear

So for a while, I conducted experiments
And I was amazed by the things I learned
From the fine, fine girl with nothing, but good intentions
And a bad tendency to get burned

Oh-oh, all about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you know?
I wonder what you do to me
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Some time later, I met a young graduate
When I had nobody to call my own
I told her I was looking for somebody to appreciate
And I just couldn't do it alone

So for a while, we conducted experiments
In an apartment by the River Road
And we found out that the two things we put together
Had a bad tendency to explode

Oh-oh, all about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you've learned?
I'll memorize everything you do to me, so I can
Teach it when it comes my turn

Fine spring day, California waves
Sweet Pacific scenes through
The windows of aeroplanes and hotel rooms

So when I find myself alone and unworthy
I think about all of the things I learned
From the fine, fine women with nothing, but good intentions
And a bad tendency to get burned

Oh-oh, all about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you know?
I wonder what you do to me
Oh-whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh, all about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you've learned?
I'll memorize everything you do to me
So I can teach it when it comes my turn

It's all about chemistry (California waves)
It's all about chemistry, whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's all about chemistry (Sweet Pacific scenes)
It's all about chemistry, oh-whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh
