E
Down in Beaumont, they're two-steppin'
E
Out in Bakersfield it's a honky tonk heaven
A E
I hear the coast of Carolina, they still twist and shout
B A B E
This Okie dance floor is jumpin', let's figure it out
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
But baby, we could spend a couple hours trying to figure it out
A
Trying to figure out what was going on between Adam and Eve
E
Johnny and June, James Dean and Natalie
A
The who and why and what about a thing called love
B
How you got to break it in before it fits you like a glove
E A
I got a couple thousand questions I been meaning to ask you about
B
And we've got a little time to kill
A B E
Baby, let's figure it out.

Chorus 2:
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
Baby ain't no telling how long it takes to figure it out
