lyrics

There are no fish left in this sea
The boat we’re in’s about to sink
No other options to pursue
There's one of me and one of you
Come on baby take a chance
Come on baby do the math

Weigh the costs and benefits
Calculate reward and risk
Count your options on one hand
It’s simple supply and demand
You know the song
You know the dance
Come on baby do the math

Do the math
Come on baby do the math
Come on baby take a chance
Come on baby do the math

We come to terms and then combine
We multiply and we divide
All these exes and these whys
Leave us reduced and undefined
Come on baby take a chance
Cause tonight might just be our last

Do the math
Come on baby do the math
You know the song
You know the dance
Come on baby do the math
