[Verse 1]
It doesn't take a mathematician
To add a simple sum
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb

[Chorus]
Dumb, dumb, dumb (ah, ah, ah)
Dumb, dumb, dumb (ah, ah, ah)
Dumb, dumb, dumb (ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 2]
It doesn't take Robert the Bruce
To see the web you've spun
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb

[Chorus]
Dumb, dumb, dumb (ah, ah, ah)
Dumb, dumb, dumb (ah, ah, ah)
Dumb, dumb, dumb (ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 3]
It doesn't take a labrador
To show a blind man sun
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb
