Lyrics
You're under psychology's spell
Compelled by a need to explain
How it appears, after so many years
The love between us still remains
You study the masters, Jung, Klein and Freud
And ponder the things that we do
As we draw near, you quote your ideas
Well I've got a theory for you
If it ain't broke don't fix it
If it don't hurt don't fret
If that old spark still flames in our hearts
Then baby, it ain't over yet
Don't analyse our kisses
Don't record every word
Don't you compare each sigh, each stare
To see if patterns emerge
When we two are romancing
Don't you dare break that spell
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Then darlin' all will be well
You've got this crazy idea
Love can be measured and trained
Why we're still head over heels
Is something you'll never explain
If it ain't broke don't fix it
If it don't hurt don't fret
If that old spark still flames in our hearts
Then baby, it ain't over yet
Don't analyse our kisses
Don't record every word
Don't you compare each sigh, each stare
To see if patterns emerge
When we two are romancing
Don't you dare break that spell
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Then darlin' all will be well
