Two Minus One

arithmetic was never my cup of tea
 yet i know two minus one
  equals you minus me

whatever happened to our wonderful attraction
when did we become this silly subtraction
can you so easily
                       subtract me from your heart
add someone new and then
                                        depart

add me back so we will be
one plus one equals you and me

don't let little problems divide us
just let the good times multiple for us
our love each day is adding up to grow
please don't subtract us to zero

pretty baby can't you see
one plus one equals you and me
for two minus one equals you minus me
it just wouldn't add up for you or for me
