[Verse] I've never been one for mathematics Arithmetic was not my friend Every day in class was tragic But my teacher said "That don't mean you can't pretend" I've never been one for double-crossing I play it straight So no one's lost Not a fan of the back-and-forthing But that don't mean that I can't pay the cost [Pre-Chorus] Now it's happening again I can't even count to ten All the time I could have spent [Chorus] But the obvious answers are too hard today I tried to talk But my words got in the way Every question I should know I hear the number and I go The obvious answers are too hard today I know I shouldn't let my mind go and stray Every word that you can say And I forget it anyway The obvious answers are too hard today [Verse 2] Never been one for a common saying You'd never catch me in a bar Not really good at game-playing And that don't mean that I can't make it far I've never been one for group dynamics I always fly alone and solo It's really great for less traffic But that don't mean I don't enjoy the show [Pre-Chorus] Now it's happening again I can't even count to ten All the time I could have spent [Chorus] But the obvious answers are too hard today I tried to talk But my words got in the way Every question I should know I hear the number and I go The obvious answers are too hard today I know I shouldn't let my mind go and stray Every word that you can say And I forget it anyway The obvious answers are too hard today
