One Plus One Equals Three
[BUDDY]
I never sought the spotlight
I stayed behind the scenes
But then I met a sweetheart
Who changed my old routines

She put me in the spotlight
Now I'm a happy pup
And when I count my blessings
I find they all add up to:

One plus one equals three
My baby, her sister and me
This is not what I expected
But my baby is well-connected
You can see why I elected
This arithmetic with an odd key
Where one plus one equals three

Some guys wonder how it'll work
Some women titter and smirk
"Ha ha ha ha"
All their questions will be resolved
I've got the problem solved

It's one plus one
One plus one
One plus one
