hey, little scientist, what am I to make of this strange appeal you have to me?
if I was a physicist, maybe I could measure this unexpected gravity,
+++ but you’ve got your own thing,
+++ you’re off studying the bugs in the jungle
+++ somewhere down in Mexico,
+++ you’ve got your own thing,
+++ you’re measuring the tropical rainfall,
you know things I’ll never know,
you know things I’ll never know..

hey, little scientist, I have this hypothesis that we could be good for us,
but I lack experience, let’s devise experiments to prove whether that’s true or not,
+++ you’ve got your own thing,
+++ you’re discovering the way that the brain grows,
+++ underneath the microscope, and
+++ you’ve got your own thing,
+++ you’re uncovering the secrets of blood flow,
you know things I’ll never know,
you know things I’ll never know..
+++ but I know the way your eyes affect me clearly warrants further study,
+++ somebody should write their thesis on the energy between us,
+++ is it just infatuation? what’s the scientific explanation?..

hey, little scientist, have you ever wondered if one and one is always two?
I slept through Calculus,
must’ve missed the formulas to analyze my odds with you,
+++ you’ve got your own thing, and I may be dreaming,
+++ but I’d like to research every little thing about you and what makes you work..

hey, little scientist, what am I to make of this
strange appeal you have to me?… (x3)
