There was something in the air Yes, I could smell it Smart people everywhere But do they know what love is? Out of the corner of my eye I saw an ordinary powerpoint slide And I saw her standing there, and I Fell in love At the academic conference Though I couldn't find the confidence To tell her that I love her (and I do, you know that I do) Enjoys whitman and camus Well, no, I've never read them I'm here just for the booze Although, I'm not that dim... So you've got your nice degree But could you ever love somebody like me? I guess I'll wonder for a while 'Cause I Fell in love At the academic conference Though I couldn't find the confidence To tell her that I love her (and I do, you know that I do) Well my dear I must confess I found your email address While searching on the internet And I'm writing to ask, did you forget me? (Please don't forget me) 'cause I Fell in love At the academic conference Though I couldn't find the confidence To tell her that I love her (and I do, you know that I do)
