Chemistry Book

Chemistry book would you trade me places?
Just for a while, an hour or so?
I envy the way that she looks at you studies you
Takes you every place she wants to go.
For hours a day you're her only companion
For hours a day you're all that she sees
Noting each detail lovingly, caringly
Reading your pages oh I wish it were me.

Chemistry--What I want to have with her
Chemistry--This equation's all wrong
Chemistry--She's too good for you
Chemistry--Don't you stick around too long

Organic chemistry, my worst enemy
You and her and those cohesive bonds
I just wish she'd spend a little more time with me,
So much time with you--that's just plain wrong.

Chemistry--What I want to have with her
Chemistry--This equation's all wrong
Chemistry--She's too good for you
Chemistry--Don't you stick around too long

I've never been jealous of a textbook before
Ten pounds of paper--she's better than that.
Never had such ugly competition
Never seen a guy with a face so flat.

Chemistry--What I want to have with her
Chemistry--This equation's all wrong
Chemistry--She's too good for you
Chemistry--Don't you stick around too long



Special thanks to Christine Baker (soon to be Henrichsen) for the inspiration, and to Matt Brown and the rest of the Fellowship and company of 2001/2002 for their support. Apologies to Aaron (who would've thought...platonic relationships and all...)
