You may be wondering why some things don’t last,
You may be wondering why changes come so fast,
And how improper and radical things have been:
Well, take it from me friend,
You can’t refute what you must depend,
You don’t have to return to square one-
because you are an absolute!

*(Chorus)

Too many negatives have taken their toll,
No matter how you add it up, you’re still not whole,
And you feel like the number on the short end:
Well, take it from me friend,
It’s not long until the weekend and you’re still looking cute,
You’re not just another number-
You are an absolute!

*(Chorus)

You can divide your problems in half effortlessly,
And you can give 100% and still get the third degree,
There’s no formula that you can defend:
Well, take it from me friend,
All I can give is a hand to lend,
You’re not irrational and you’re not mute-
Because you are an absolute!

It’s not natural for me to worry,
Mistakes just multiply when in a hurry,
By any equation, I’ve been on the mend:
But when I’ve got a problem, I need a friend.
I know there’s a solution, but I don’t know when,
I can simplify or change my suit-
Because I too am an absolute!

*(Chorus)

You’re the answer
That I’ve been trying to prove
The constant in a world
That’s always on the move
No matter how they add
or how they compute
You’re not just a number
You are an absolute!
Through every fraction,
Mistake or substitute
I’ll stand by your side
Because you are an absolute.
You are an absolute,
You are an absolute.
