x and y, You and I

Instead of this wretched x and y

I wish it was simply you and I

I wish fractions never made me want to cry

And algebra didn’t make me want to die

 

Geometrical concepts make me go mad

Percentage and statistics just make me sad

The torture of equations hurts really bad

The math ability is something I never had

 

A hand in your hand, well, that’s addition

Of our springing love, I wish there’s no subtraction

With you, of feelings, there is multiplication

Two bodies, one soul, without division

 

That’s the only math I know

My math book? I just want it to go

The triangle is my biggest foe

And that’s what makes me feel so low

 

Those angles, and triangles, they spin my head round

To torture me, was this the only way they found?

The sea of BODMAS is just where I’ve drowned

You took me out with a net, that’s just how we’re bound
