do the math (rewrite three)
put you and me together
and add up the score
in clear and cloudy weather
it's something we've been searching for
I'm gonna rise to the occasion
I'm the answer to your equation
no matter what the situation
I'll always stand by you
do the math
we belong together
like half-and-half
ain't nothing better
I'm saying this for our own good
for our own behalf
do the math
do the math
do the math
put one and one together
and the sum you get is us
baby, I'm the inventor
of a love that you can truly trust
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
ain't nothing to be afraid of
no matter what you say, love
I'll always stand by you
do the math
we're the right decision
baby, there's no path
in long division
one day we'll look back on this
and we'll just have to laugh
do the math
do the math
do the math

in spite of you (rewrite three)
every hour of honest work
every healing inside the hurt
every morning when I wake
every rough and ragged
breath I take
everything I can
I'm going to
everything I am
everything I do
I'm making it though
in spite of you
every year of growing old
every journey of my soul
every time I've had to fight
to see between wrong and right
every ray of hope
coming out of the blues
everything I am
everything I do
and I'll do what I have to do
in spite of you
you've wanted to harm me
since I can remember
but now you don't alarm me
I don't have to surrender
every second
every minute
of a life with joy within it
I will fight to the end of my will
to make sure that your voice is stilled
everything I am
everything I do
every well-earned answer
from a forgotten clue
I know what is true
that's why I'm getting through
in spite of you

in spite of you (rewrite two)
every hour of honest work
every healing inside the hurt
every morning when I wake
every rough and ragged
breath I take
everything I can
I'm going to
everything I am
everything I do
I'm making it though
in spite of you
every year of growing old
every journey of my soul
every time I've had to fight
to see between wrong and right
every ray of hope
coming out of the blues
everything I am
everything I do
and I'll do what I have to do
in spite of you
you've wanted to harm me
since I can remember
but now you don't alarm me
I don't have to surrender
every second
every minute
of a life with joy within it
I will fight to my last breath
till one of us meets its death
everything I am
everything I do
every well-earned answer
from a disappearing clue
I'm making it through
in spite of you

baby needs liquor
get in the car
put in the key
turn the engine on
it's out the door for me
I got me a job
that's easy to do
and it's fine with me
'cause it's fun for you
I'll drive as fast
as these roads will allow
'cause baby needs liquor
and she needs it right now

in spite of you (rewrite)
every hour of honest work
every healing inside the hurt
every morning when I wake
every single breath I take
everything I am
everything I do
everything I can
I'm going to
in spite of you
every year of growing old
all those searches of my soul
all the times I've had to fight
between wrong and right
everything I am
everything I do
every ray of hope
coming out of the blues
is in spite of you
you have tried to harm me
since I can remember
but somehow I've learned
I don't have to surrender
every second
every minute
of a life with joy within it
I will fight to my last breath
till one of us meets its death
everything I am
everything I do
every way
I make it though
is in spite of you
