[Verse 1]
Have you heard the news?
Everybody's asking who
Is that man you've been seen with
And why I'm never out with you
[Chorus]
Please, tell me that you love me
Sort out this confusion
Say our love is still alive
For people must be jumping
To the wrong conclusion
That one and one make five
[Verse 2]
What I need right now
Is to hear you say they got it wrong
That he's just a new friend
A perfectly innocent one
[Chorus]
So, tell me that you love me
Sort out this confusion
Say our love is still alive
For people must be jumping
To the wrong conclusion
That one and one make five
People are assuming
'Cause it's so confusing
That one and one make five
[Bridge]
If one and one make two
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
Don't need to worry about you
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
But here, where gossip and rumour thrive
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
One and one add up to three, four or five
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
One and one and one and one and one make five
(One and one make five)
[Verse 3]
Let's stay in tonight
Maybe disconnect the phone
The correct arithmetic
Just two of us at home
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me that you love me
Sort out this confusion
Say our love is still alive
(One and one make five)
For people must be jumping
To the wrong conclusion
That one and one make five
(One and one make five)
Tell me that you love me
Sort out this confusion
Say our love is still alive
(One and one make five)
For people must be jumping
To the wrong conclusion
That one and one make five
(One and one make five)
[Outro]
One and one make two
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
Don't need to worry about you
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
Don't need to worry about you
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
Don't need to worry about you
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
One and one make two
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go)
