From the point of view of science, yes. But quantifying something doesn't mean you understand it, as the protagonist of this song wryly contemplates. Maybe being in love isn't entirely a matter of chemistry. And if love is some kind of disease that wrecks havoc on the nervous system, who wants to be cured? (If you want to know what happens after this phase inevitably passes, listen to "Every Time I Look At You, I Fall In Love Again.") Gender point of view: Irrelevant     CONTACT DENNIS  to request sheet music and/or a CD or MP3 for this song.
