Down in Beaumont, they're two-steppin'

Out in Bakersfield it's a honky tonk heaven

I hear the coast of Carolina, they still twist and shout

This Okie dance floor is jumpin', let's figure it out.

Well, there's a whole lot that I don't understand

Like how the MC squared between a woman and a man

Makes enough electricity to light up Tulsa downtown

Baby, we could spend a couple hours trying to figure it out

(Chorus)

Trying to figure out what was going on between Adam and Eve

Bonnie and Clyde, James Dean and Natalie

The who and why and what about a thing called love

How you got to break it in before it fits you like a glove

I got a couple thousand questions I been meaning to ask you about

And we've got a little time to kill

Baby, let's figure it out.

Trying to figure out what was going on between Adam and Eve

Johnny and June, Priscilla and the King

The who and why and what about a thing called love

How you got to break it in before it fits you like a glove.

Well, love will take you high or it will leave you real low

You can stir it into magic, if you stir it kinda slow

It's the chemistry that's in between you and me I'm talking about

And we've got a little time to kill

Honey, let's figure it out

Ain't no telling how long it's gonna take to figure it out
