Chemistry - Semisonic

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

Ah, all about chemistry

Won’t you show me everything you know

Ah 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 awhile 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

Ah, 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 days, California waves

Sweet Pacific scenes through

The windows of airplanes and hotel rooms

So when I find myself alone and unworthy

I think about all of the things I’ve learned

From the fine, fine women with nothing but good intentions

And a bad tendency to get burned

Ah, all about chemistry

Won’t you show me everything you know

Ah wonder what you do to me Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

Ah, 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, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

It’s all about chemistry, (sweet Pacific scenes)

It’s all about chemistry, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
