Chemistry look what you've done to me
Chemistry brought me near gravity
Chemistry look what you've done to me

You've called me up
My heart is pounding
Can't bear to breath
I've Just got over you

What do you want
You like a broken record
Spinnin' in my head
Why can't you let me be?

I don't understand
What it is about you
The more you reject me
The more I want from you

You're always on my mind
Always have been, always will be
I think about you all the time
I don't want to, you're a habit

And I'm running and running and
Running and running away from you
Every time when you call
I come undone can't escape from you

Is it the science of Love?
Is it the science of Love?
It's the science of Love
It's the science of Love

I'm thinking to fight it
To get away from you
Something always pulled me
Right back to you

I don't understand
What it is about you
The more you reject me
The more I want from you

You're always on my mind
Always have been, always will be
I think about you all the time
I don't want to, you're a habit

And I'm running and running
And running and running away from you
Every time when you call
I come undone can't escape from you

Is it the science of Love?
Is it the science of Love?
I wanna be with you but I'm so afraid
My heart's not ready cause I'm still in pain
I'm feeling my love is out of control
I wanna give up but I can't let go

You're always on my mind
Always have been, always will be
I think about you all the time
I don't want to, you're a habit

And I'm running and running and running and running away from you
Every time when you call, I come undone can't escape from you
Is it the science of Love?
Is it the science of Love?
It's the science of Love
It's the science of Love
Love is Science....

As the unquestioned queen of disco, the one and only Donna Summer lit up the late 70s and 80s with flashy, exuberant vocals and automatic earworms. Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on Dec. 31, 1948, Summer moved to Germany after being cast in a Munich production of Hair. There, she happened to meet Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and the trio conglomerated to form a dynamic music team. With Moroder, Summer forged together her first album, The Hostage, which reached moderate success in Northern Europe. Summer’s big break, however, would come later with the release of 1975’s sexual “Love to Love You Baby”, which became one of disco’s first mainstream hits and reached #2 on the Billboard Charts.

1977 came around with the concept album I Remember Yesterday, which featured the Top 10 single “I Feel Love”. The next year, Summer hit the silver screen with the movie Thank God It’s Friday, whose soundtrack featured one of her own the iconic “Last Dance.” This would later become one of the disco legends' signature songs. “Dance” would take home an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, and it jumped to a peak of #3 on the charts.

Yet Summer’s illustrious career was far from finished – Summer’s first live album Live and More featured the single “MacArthur Park”, a melting ballad that was a cover of the Jimmy Webb ballad of the same name. “Park” became Summer’s first – and perhaps most memorable – No. 1 hit, and cemented her status as a vocalist as well as a performer. With the track, she became the first female in modern rock history to hold the top spot in both the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. 1979, though, would really be the peak of her career.
