Tandem

In the word I love you / Tandem / Too many m / Of m and of n / And never ever only one n

In love always / Of love

It's the pros / Or the against IBM trendy program / It's sometimes often hatred / On the FM

I know that in blackjack / You like black people / But deep in your heart you are in black and white

I agree / I say all right / Don't confuse the day and the night

In the word I love you / Tandem / As many as

That you'll have to tune into the FM / Sometimes it shines like a tiara

Always the same theme / Tandem It's the same / You should tune in to the FM

Soon the crash I don't know when

You are strong in the subject / Mathematics / But in advanced math you become weak

In love always / It's the pros / Or the cons IBM program strikes

Each night suffers its pain / Or the cons / We reap what we sow
