Two Minus One (lyrics by Paul Levinson, 1966)

(Intro)
Love doesn't follow the usual rules
which apply to the rest of the world
Simple subtraction deceives you and fools you
when you try to leave your little girl

(chorus)
Two minus one equals nothing at all
when you take away one you love
Two minus one equals nothing at all
Now my life is just a fraction of
what it used to be, when she was with me
and we were two

(verse)
Thought that I was ten feet high
She was below me so I said goodbye
Time has flown, I'm still alone
What I would give if I had only known

(chorus)

(verse)
I was burned, the tide has turned
and I'm wiser now for all that I've learned
I won't hide behind false pride
I'll search the Earth
til I'm back at her side

(chorus)

(intro)

Two minus one equals nothing at all
when you take away one you love
take away one you love ...
