Zero Effect - Dan Bern

All your fancy words 
Your well-constructed theories 
Everything that you wore 
Everything that you swore 
Was what brought me to you 

It was nice—all of it 
It was sweet—all of it 
But it was not the thing that made me come to you 

It had zero effect--on me 
It had zero effect--zero 
It had zero effect-- 
The thing that brought me to you— 
Was you 

You coulda looked for the clues 
Till your magnifying glass was worn out 
You coulda talked to everybody that you've ever known 
Collected evidence--found a lot of evidence 
Everything you think was there—was there 
Everything you think took place--took place 
But it was not what made me come to you 

It had zero effect--on me 
It had zero effect--Zero 
It had zero effect 
The thing that brought me to you 
Was you 

When our eyes collide--it's true 
When I wake up beside you 
When I hold you it's another perfect day 
Everything else floats away 

I bet you think it's because you're smart 
Those great ideas in your head 
I bet you think it's ‘cause of that wine you chose 
& that fine Italian bread 

It was all of it fine--all of it 
It was all of it good--every bit of it 
But it was not the thing that made me come to you 

It had zero effect--on me 
It had zero effect--zero 
It had zero effect 
The thing that brought me to you 
Was you
