This is your brain makin' everything make sense,
Countin' those nickels and dimes.
This is your brain balancin' on the fence, walkin' that logical line.
This is your brain got it all under control, both hands on the wheel.
Stay in your lane, keepin' it tame, this is your brain.

Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window,
And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name.
And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin'
And you're crazy over everything she does.
You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love.

This is your brain buddy you can handle this,
Gotta just get a grip.
This is your brain man there ain't a woman alive,
That you can't resist.
This is your brain baby, just slow on down,
Don't want to jump the tracks.
You can refrain, keep it contained, this is your brain.

Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window,
And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name.
And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin'
And you're crazy over everything she does.
You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love.

You think that you're too clever now, to ever fall again,
And your medulla oblongata says, boy get out while you can

Then she walks right by and that all goes out the window,
And your IQ starts to dwindle, at the mention of her name.
And she winks and smiles and your heart starts over loadin'
And you're crazy over everything she does.
You ain't insane, this is your brain, on love.

You ain't insane, this is your brain on love.
Sweet love.

HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM [2:50]
Joe Diffie

From The Album: Twice Upon A Time (1997)

Written by: Steve Dukes/Michael Higgins/Chris Lindrey

Peaked Billboard position: Did not chart


She said she'd meet me in the cheap seats in the end zone
And now I sittin's here cryin'
In the parkin' lot of the Astro Dome
When she stands me up like this,
We both know where she is
Big city what are we gonna do
Looks like it's just me and you

Houston, we have a problem
I think we've lost her one more time
Houston, she's gone to Austin
She's run off and left us high and dry

He slicks his hair back
And he talks fast for a southerner
He's the bona fide right hand
Of the third hand from the governor
I don't know what she sees in him
But dog gone it, she's gone again
Leavin' me in a pool of tears
What's it gonna take to keep her here

Houston, we have a problem
I thank we lost her one more time
Houston, she's gone to Austin
She's run off and left us high and dry

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
You've gotta million petty fights
But every time she takes that ride
You loose every bit of your shine
Houston, we have a problem
I think we've lost her one more time

Houston, she's gone to Austin
She's run off and left us high and dry
Houston, we have a problem
I think we've lost her one more time

Houston, she's gone to Austin
She's run off and left us high and dry

A haugh, high and dry

I'm out here stranded on this Oklahoma Road
Nothing but a broken truck, heat and dust and a million high line poles
If only I could tap the line I'd be just fine
If I could talk to her right now

Cause there's a voice inside of me
That's saying something's wrong
Cause I've tried a hundred times and a hundred dimes to reach her on the phone
and like the sun my hearts sinkin cause I'm thinkin it don't matter anyhow

And I got a feelin' she ain't feelin' what I'm feelin anymore
I got a sneakin suspicion love is walkin out the door
Now I'm dealin with a heartache like I've never felt before
I got a feelin' she ain't feelin' what I'm feelin anymore

I like this ramblin life but what a price to pay
To think I'd let a dollar sign and a diesel whine drive her love away
I've got a real strong premonition
She ain't missin me as much as I miss her

And I got a feelin' she ain't feelin' what I'm feelin anymore
I got a sneakin suspicion love is walkin out the door
Now I'm dealin with a heartache like I've never felt before
And I got a feelin' she ain't feelin' what I'm feelin anymore

I got a feelin' she ain't feelin' what I'm feelin' anymore

Been doin' the math ever since you left
Pondering the properties of loneliness
Stacking your efforts right up against mine
You know I get the same answer every time

You take four hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put them all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh, zero
Mmmmmmm....

I remember learning all of this back in school
I guess I never did apply it to me and you
So, I guess I'll be the one to carry the blame
Something times nothing always ends the same

You take four hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made

Put them all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
Oh, zero
Mmmmmmm....

Every time I think of how hard you try
Baby, my blues just multiply....

You take four hundred seventeen nights and days
A million and one promises made
Put them all together and you throw 'em away
You get zero
Nothing but zero
A great big zero
Whoa, zero
