All your fancy words
Your well-constructed theories
Everything that you wore
Everything that you swore
Was what brought me to you

It was nice—all of it
It was sweet—all of it
But it was not the thing that made me come to you

It had zero effect–on me
It had zero effect–zero
It had zero effect–
The thing that brought me to you—
Was you

You coulda looked for the clues
Till your magnifying glass was worn out
You coulda talked to everybody that you’ve ever known
Collected evidence–found a lot of evidence
Everything you think was there—was there
Everything you think took place–took place
But it was not what made me come to you

It had zero effect–on me
It had zero effect–Zero
It had zero effect
The thing that brought me to you
Was you

When our eyes collide–it’s true
When I wake up beside you
When I hold you it’s another perfect day
Everything else floats away

I bet you think it’s because you’re smart
Those great ideas in your head
I bet you think it’s ‘cause of that wine you chose
& that fine Italian bread

It was all of it fine–all of it
It was all of it good–every bit of it
But it was not the thing that made me come to you

It had zero effect–on me
It had zero effect–zero
It had zero effect
The thing that brought me to you
Was you
