Lyrics
- All that I know of ‘rithmetic
Is one and one make two
And that’s the way I estimate that I love you
Sweetheart, I spend my nights in figuring
Subtracting me from you
Which only goest to show that I just know that
Chorus
Me minus you means just nothin’ at all
But me plus you equals love
Night minus moon means no romance at all
But night plus moon equals love
Won’tcha hug a little, snug a little closer
How about that, hm?
Will your answer be a “Yes, Sir” or a “No, Sir?”
Can’t you figure out that?
Me minus you means just nothin’ at all
But me plus you equals love
- The days are long when you’re away
My heart and mind agree
It’s time to start in makin’ plans
For you and me, baby.
No need for fancy sentiments
It’s plain as A. B. C.
I hardly need explain that
It’s quite plain that
