“I Solved For X” Lyrics

Didn’t like the F that I deserved
Was apathetic
Finally built up my nerve
To try and “get it”
In math class I just prayed
Was tryin’ to survive
Now I’ve got a good grade
I feel so alive

I solved for x and I liked it
Math never tasted so good befo’
I solved for x just to try it
Hope my English teacher doesn’t know
Answer was wrong
But now it’s right
Gonna do math homework tonight
I solved for x and I liked it
I liked it

Three x plus seven equals thirty
Now I pick up the phone
Talkin’ math makes me feel so dirty
Now I’ve got x alone
This ain’t what sane boys think
This feeling’s so absurd
Should I go see a shrink?
I’m such a nerd

I solved for x and I liked it
Math never tasted so good befo’
I solved for x just to try it
Hope Mister Burt doesn’t know
English feels wrong
But math feels right
Gonna solve some problems tonight
I solved for x and I liked it
I liked it

Worked math well past the midnight hour
Raised both sides to a higher power
Had to cool off with a cold shower
Never liked math so much
But now I'm yearning for its touch

I solved for x and I liked it
Math never tasted so good befo’
I solved for x just to try it
Hope Mister Depp doesn’t know
You can’t go wrong
With Mister White
With math I’m in love tonight
I solved for x and I liked it
I liked it
