[CANDACE, spoken]
Are you saying we can't talk?

[JEREMY, spoken]
Are you saying we're not talking?

[CANDACE, spoken]
What are you saying?

[JEREMY, spoken]
What are you saying? I'm saying

(sung)
I feel bad, that you feel bad
About me feeling bad, about you feeling bad
About what I did, about what you did
About acting on your instinctual gut feeling

[CANDACE]
If I thought that what you thought
Was that I hadn't brought you embarrassment and fraught Then my reaction to your reaction, to my dumb actions
Would have been more revealing

[JEREMY]
I was afraid that you'd be afraid
My feelings for you would be hinged on your busting tendencies I don’t think that problem is a problem
Maybe our problem's simply codependency
[CANDACE]
Yes you know, that now I know
That when I bestowed that poor janitor’s chapeau
And I had to go, that you tried to show
Me that had I known ‘bout your phone, you’d have shown you adored me

[JEREMY]
I took long to-

[CANDACE]
See all along that-

[JEREMY]
I felt strong whеn-

[CANDACE]
My hunch was wrong

[JEREMY]
So I came to say that-

[CANDACE]
My hunch didn’t hurt things much

[JEREMY]
Not so much not to come to this laboratory
[CANDACE & JEREMY]
I’m not mad that you got sad when things lookеd bad
Before I learned your whereabouts

[JEREMY]
And I don’t know how to spy or just why
We’re fighting off frogs and pandas
And dogs but I want to find out

[JEREMY & CANDACE]
I feel bad, that you feel bad
I feel badly about you
About me feeling bad, about you feeling bad
About what I did, about what you did
Feeling badly about me
About acting on your instinctual gut feeling
Feeling badly about you

I thought
If I thought that what you thought
You thought
Was that I hadn't brought you embarrassment & fraught
I reacted shallowly
Then my reaction to your reaction, to my dumb actions
Would have been more revealing
When I reacted to you
I’m not mad that you got sad
I'm not mad
When things looked bad
You got sad
Before I learned your whereabouts
Whereabouts

And I don’t know how to spy or just why
And I don’t know
We’re fighting off frogs
No I don’t know
And pandas and dogs
But I want to find out
Want to find out

[JEREMY]
But now it's out in the open

[CANDACE]
Now it's off our chest

[CANDACE & JEREMY]
Now we’re sweaty and
An evil scientist needs busting
There’s so much to do
So let's give this a rest
