One and One Makes Two
Harmony in Numbers: Discovering Love through One and One
Lyrics
Oh the number one is not my favorite number
Expressing a dislike for the number one
'Cause one means only me and there's no you
One symbolizes solitude without the presence of another
But one plus one you see makes two that's you and me
When combined, one plus one equals two, representing unity between the speaker and another person
And it's more fun when one and one makes two
Emphasizing the enjoyment of being together as a pair
Oh yes one and one makes two at least I'm pretty sure they do
Asserting the belief that one and one indeed make two, though with a slight uncertainty
Oh yes it's true one and one makes two
Reiterating the truth that combining one and one results in two
Now let me show you what I mean
Intending to demonstrate the concept being discussed
Now you say you want to play upon a seesaw
Desire to engage in an activity involving cooperation (playing on a seesaw)
You're all alone and you don't know what to do
Feeling alone and seeking companionship for the activity
Well just go and find a friend and sit him on the other end
Encouragement to involve someone else to enhance the enjoyment of the activity
You'll have more fun when one and one makes two
Highlighting the increased enjoyment when shared with another person
Oh yes one and one
Reiteration of the idea of combining one and one
Now you say you want to play a game of baseball
Desire to participate in a game of baseball
And you look around and there's no one but you
Feeling alone and lacking companions for the game
Well just find someone you know and he will catch the ball you throw
Suggesting the involvement of a known person to enhance the experience of the game
You'll have more fun when one and one makes two
Emphasizing the increased enjoyment when playing with another person
Oh yes one and one
Reiteration of the idea of combining one and one
Now there's the best reason of all that I like to number two right here
Expressing a preference for the number two
Now everyone needs somebody to share with
Highlighting the necessity of having someone to share life with
To love and help and care for through and through
Expressing the importance of love, support, and care in a relationship
And there's no one that I've known who can share or love alone
Noting that solitary love or sharing is not as fulfilling as mutual love
It's a lot nicer when one and one makes two
Stating the preference for the unity and completeness found in companionship
Oh yes one and one
Reiteration of the idea that one and one combine to make two
I said it's true one and one makes two
