Einstein

About Einstein

"Einstein" is a song by American recording artist Kelly Clarkson, from her fifth studio album, Stronger (2011). Originally titled as "Dumb + Dumb = You", "Einstein" was written by Clarkson, Toby Gad, Bridget Kelly, and James Fauntleroy II, with Gad handling the production. Lyrically, the song is written in a woman's first-person narrative about her acquiescence and infuriation towards her ex-lover, whom she described in the song as "dumb". Written in wordplay, it uses various mathematical-related equations and topics as rhetorical devices to describe their relationship, notably referencing the German-born physicist Albert Einstein in a metaphorical lyric, which led to the song being named after him. Upon its release, "Einstein" received mixed reviews from music critics, whose criticism targeted the song's lyrical content, primarily the lyric "Dumb plus dumb equals you", but also complimented Clarkson's vocal performance. Propelled by digital sales during the album's release week, "Einstein" charted at number 56 in the South Korean Singles Chart. She has performed the song in select dates of her Stronger Tour. more »

Simple math
Our love divided by the square root of pride
Multiply your lifeless time
I'm going out of my mind
It was heaven when I finally figured it out alone

Didn't get it the first time
But don't think I've been so blind
And I may not be Einstein
But I Know
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Dumb plus dumb equals you

Even had the nerves to flirt with her in front of my face
Here's your keys, your bags, your clothes and now get out of my place
You say I'm crazy, and that we're happy
Is that supposed to comfort me?

Didn't get it the first time
But don't think I've been so blind
And I may not be Einstein
But I Know
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Dumb plus dumb equals you
Dumb plus dumb equals you

All of your promises, flushed
A thousand apologies, just
Take out the pain and then it leaves us
With nothing at all, no, nothing at all

You can stop wasting my time
Without you I'm just fine
Why did it take me so long to figure out
Dumb plus dumb equals you, equals you

Didn't get it the first time
Don't think I'd be so blind
Yeah I may not be Einstein
But I know

Dumb plus dumb equals you, equals you

Simple math
Our love divided by the square root of pride
Multiply your lifeless time
I'm going out of my mind
And I may not be Einstein

But I know dumb plus dumb equals you, equals you
