Stupid With Love

When I was five

I fell in love

It didn't last

He ran from me

Literally ran from me

And being Kenyan, he ran fast

When I was ten

In love again

This Peace Corps guy

I waited hours

Inside his tent with flowers

Which made him laugh

Which made me cry

By thirteen I gave up trying

I decided I would be a mathematician

'Cause math is real

I memorized a lot of pi

Because addition and subtraction and division

Would never make me feel

So stupid with love

Like I didn't get it

I didn't get it, somehow

Smart with math but stupid with love

I didn't get it

I didn't get it

Till now

Do you have an eraser?

I would love to

So thank you, math, for being there

To bring me joy

And thank you, math

'Cause now you've brought me

This cute boy!

Is it two?

Yes!

He's like someone from TV

He's like that guy who gives out roses to those women

His clothes, his grooming

And he's a foot away from me

With swoopy hair and shiny eyes that I could swim in

He is live and in the room

And I'm

Stupid with love

I wanna get it

I wanna get it, but how?

Smart with math but stupid with love

I wanna get it

I didn't get it

Till now

Two over zero is undefined

Jinx

I'm astounded and non-plussed

I am filled with calcu-lust

Does this guy work out? He must!

All sweaty at the gym

Could that image be more hot?

Let me just enjoy that thought

School was rough but now it's not

'Cause now there's him

It's all so simple

Stupid with love

But I can get it

Watch this girl self-educate

I learned math so I can learn love

You wanna bet it?

That I can get it?

Just wait

Just wait

Just wait!
