I know enough about biology
To know that love
is not some mystery
It's chemicals
It's only chemicals

Maybe you're funny
And maybe you're smart
Maybe your whole
exceeds the sum of your parts
Maybe your eyes,
they're gonna break my heart
But don't you even think
I'm ever gonna start
Getting physical
You may be kissable
But still resistible
You see that oxytocin
Enters into the stream
When serotonins mix
with dopamine
Combine together
with adrenaline
Your body starts
singing like a violin

It's not magical
Or mystical
it’s only chemicals

Love, don't knock at my door
Don't come here no more
Love isn't what I'm looking for now

Forget the sonnets and
the love poetry
That stuff has never meant
a damn to me
It's trivial
Though understandable

But look, we’re sowing poison
in the food that we grow
It's terrifying what the data shows
Destroy our planet,
and we'll reap what we sow
And nobody in power
seems to wanna know
It's critical
But she's distracting and she’s beautiful

Please, don't knock at my door
Don't come here no more
Love isn't what I'm looking for now

Love, don't knock at my door
Don't come here no more
Love isn't what I'm looking for now

She’d look wonderful beside
me at an embassy ball
A lovely set of antlers
on my library wall
I'll teach her how to talk
with a superior drawl
To London, Manhattan,
to hell with them all

I feel masterful
So powerful
It's wonderful
And she's very beautiful

Love, come knock at my door
You've missed me before
Don't wanna be alone no more now
