  • Oh, don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
    Well, my fingers definitely turning to black now
    Yeah, maybe I'll put my love on ice
    And teach myself, and maybe that'll be nice, yeah

    My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
    Well, the longer words are really breaking my back now
    Yeah, maybe I'll learn to understand
    I'm drawing a square with a pencil in hand, yeah

    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

    Mathematically turning the page
    Unequivocally showing my age
    I'm practically center stage
    Undeniably earning your wage

    Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
    Teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah

    Well, listen master, can you answer a question?
    Is it the fingers or the brain that you're teaching the lesson?
    Oh, I can't tell ya how proud I am
    I'm writing down things that I don't understand
    Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
    And teach myself, and maybe that'll be nice, yeah

    Yeah, yeah, yeah Writer/s: Jack White
