Semisonic - All About Chemistry (2001) by Semisonic (보컬) on maniadb.com

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 awhile I conducted experiments
And I was amazed by the things I learned
From a fine fine girl with nothing but good intentions and a
Bad tendency to get burned

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

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 airplanes 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

All about chemistry
Won't you show me everything you know
Ah wonder what you do to me
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
It's all about chemistry
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

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

My little darling it's a crying shame The
way that you lead me on And I've
got nobody but myself to blame Cause
I've always just played along Well
show me a body that gets no love And
I'll show you a body that's way messed
up Well it seems like you're aware
of the effect you have on my head If
you feel like I'm asking you for
too much We can keep in touch And
I'll find someone else to bed Bed Find
some Find someone else to bed My
little darling I'm a tangled mess When
you tease me the way you do & what
it would be like I can only guess If
you'd please me like I wanna please
you Well show me a friendship
that's pure and chaste And I'll
show you and engine that's dying
to race Well the time has come for
me to find Another way to get my
soul fed I know we could be the
sweetest friends But if that's where
it ends Then I'll find someone else
to bed Bed Find some Find someone
else to bed Bed Find some Find
someone else to bed Well the time
has come for me To take care of
myself instead You know if we remain On
a spiritual plane I will go insane Don't
make me find someone else to bed Bed
Find someone Find someone else to bed

Our little secret just might be the
kind of thing that you can't hide It's
growing like a tangled vine & rising
like a river in the tide And everybody
knew when you walked into the room I
was just a fool for you, nothing
I could do Everybody sees you taking
control of me Well I'm not begging
for release I'm just begging darling
please, please Act Naturally Don't
let our troubles show Don't let
anybody know Till we get it figured
out Don't give them anything that
they could doubt Our little problem
doesn't seem to be about to go away As
far as I can tell it's gonna keep
on showing more with every day And
everybody look, yeah, that was all
it took I can't help believing they
can read me like a book So hide
your feelings tight till we figure
how to make it right I don't know
what I should but I Would do it
if I could Act Naturally Just
be you beautiful Just be you casual I'll
be me before the fall You be you
before this all came down (Act Naturally)
Don't let our troubles show Don't let
anybody know Till we get it figured
out Don't give them anything that
they could doubt Just be you beautiful Just
be you casual I'll be me before the fall You
be you before this all came down

She's got my number she always did She
can always see where my secret's
hid Everything about me is hers
to tell She's got my number she
always will She's got my number
I must confess One look in her eyes
and I feel undressed She can see
right through all my little games She's
got my number she has my name Late
night driving with the telephone In
the car and I'm always Waiting,
waiting for the girl to call I'll
be lost on a lonely late night She's
got my number I must confess One
look in her eyes and I feel undressed All
of the world's standing at her door She
don't even care what they're waiting
for And every mistake that I ever
made Every little sin is on her
display And through it all I find
that I want her still She's got
my number she always will Late
night driving with the telephone In
the car and I'm always Waiting,
waiting for the girl to call I'll
be lost on a lonely Late night highway
with the telephone In the car and
I'm always Waiting, waiting for
the girl to call I'll be lost on
a lonely Late night She's got
my number she always did She can
always see where my secret's hid
Everything about me is hers to tell She's got
my number she always will

I would sure love believing In something
that's never leaving Would like
to let go the hurting When everything's
so uncertain You know I tried To
show you what I have inside Will
we laugh at how this all began When
you're an old woman and I'm an old
man Take me wherever you go Help
me forget tomorrow Love me your
best and I know All of the rest
will follow Love me as well as you
know And everything else will follow I
wouldn't mind pretending It's something
that's never-ending Would like to
believe that someday We won't be
living this way I know you tried To
show me you were on my side Could
it be that I've already found The
thing that I've been searching the
whole world round Take me wherever
you go Help me forget tomorrow Love
me your best and I know All of the
rest will follow Love me your best
and I know Everything else will
follow Take me wherever you go All
of the rest will follow Help me
forget tomorrow All of the rest
will follow Love me as well as you know

Take all that you've got Multiply
by zero Divide by the time you've
got left That's x Add it up write
it down tell me what you've found We're
speaking in tongues Both of us
dumbfounded Our brains have been
impounded by our hearts Life is so uncertain
Look at all the hurting that we've done You
said you had somebody better to become
Who's stopping you Who's stopping you
Who's stopping you Who's stopping you We're
wasting our time Watching our old
reruns Waiting for the good one
that never comes You say it beats
working On the emptiness that's
lurking inside your head Step into
the light my friend Who's stopping
you Who's stopping you Who's stopping
you Who's stopping you You
said you had somebody better to become
Who's stopping you Who's stopping you
Who's stopping you Who's stopping you

I wish I could be anyone but the
one that I am now I wish I could
see any scene but the one I hang
around I wish I could do anything
but the things I always do No matter
how I try to sing along Something
is always wrong What I wish I knew I
wish I could drive in the car that
you drive around the Bay I wish
I could ride in the back seat you're
riding in today I wish I could be
more like someone you wish that I
could be No matter how I change
it anyway You won't even say if
you really want me I can try to
please you Get down on my knees
for you Go outside and freeze for
you Cross the high seas for you Whatever
you need me to I can climb the trees
for you Twist in the breeze for
you But there's one thing that I
can never do I can't believe for
you I can't believe in me for you I
wish I could turn into somebody far,
far away I wish I could make myself
satisfactory in every way I wish
I could know whether you really know
what you need If I could only be
somebody else I wouldn't be myself And
maybe you'd want me I can try
to please you Get down on my knees
for you Go outside and freeze for
you Swim the high seas for you Whatever
you need me to I've been climbing
the trees for you Twisting in the
breeze for you But one thing I can
never, never do I can't believe
for you I can't believe for you I
can't believe in me for you

All above me the stars are bright And
a sweet suburban breeze is blowing And
down the block are the parking lights Of
a hundred friends who I barely know
and Don't know me Don't know me None
of them know me And all through
the party I want to leave (All alone
with one true love) I could be happy
if I could be (In the dark with
one true love) And in the middle
of everyone I still find myself
with my thoughts alone And in the
middle of all the noise Look around
myself at the shining toys that I
don't need I don't need I don't
really need And all through the
party I want to leave (All alone
with one true love) All of the lights
are shining on me (But all I want
is one true love) In this world
I can see Many billions waiting
in the sun So I'd love to believe There'd
be one of us for everyone One of
us for everyone Enough to go around But
that's not what I've found And
all through the party I want to leave (All
alone with one true love) All of
the lights are shining on me (All
I want is one true love) All of
my life I've just wanted to be (All
alone with one true love) Every
day and night to be on my own with One
true love With one true love With
one true love With one true love With
one true love

Lonely boys and you lonely girls Here
at the end of the lonely world You're
finding out If there's someone to
cry about Lonely girls and you
lonely boys Playing alone with your
lonely toys Well don't be blue If
there's no one to play with you Get
a grip on yourself you know you should I
got a grip on myself and it feels
good Get a grip on yourself take
my advice I got a grip on myself
and it feels nice When the lights
come on and the party's through There
are always a few with nobody to do Well
now don't despair You'll eventually
get there And meanwhile all of
you lonely ones Here's what to do
while you wait for the sun To rise
above The loneliest kind of love Get
a grip on yourself you know you should I
got a grip on myself and it feels
good Get a grip on yourself take
my advice I got a grip on myself
and it feels nice And it feels
nice And it feels nice And it feels
nice And it feels nice And it feels
nice And it feels nice And it feels
nice And it feels nice If you're
looking for someone to get a grip
on you First you gotta get a grip
on yourself it's true

Matador sweeps the veil From the
last young day of my life Malibu
tides inhale Santa Ana Winds from
behind Wade out into the water No
more chances this year I've busied
myself all summer My day for swimming
is here Yes it's time Seaside
revelations All those dreams and
visions of mine Washed up like a
vacation Lost as I wasted my time Looking
through my dark glasses I see smiles
on the faces of friends But time
keeps pushing me on now And I'll
ride this wave till the end Please
don't go away Stay awhile, stay
awhile Please don't go away Stay
awhile, stay awhile Say goodbye
to the weekend And the last of the
summertime sun Driving off the end
of a decade So many things to be
done September and the trees are
restless Windchimes blow in the
dark Lying on the couch defenseless With
blue clouds court and spark Please
don't go away Stay awhile, stay
awhile Please don't go away Stay
awhile, stay awhile Please don't
go away Stay awhile, stay awhile Please
don't go away Stay awhile, stay awhile
