Chemistry
Mondo Rock Lyrics

[by Eric McCusker]

She turned me round
She said to me:
"It all depends on
The chemistry...."
And
Once in a long while
If something comes your way
You can wash it down the drain
Or make it your own
Don't waste it
Don't throw it away!

If the chemistry is right
If the chemistry is there
If the chemistry is right

You sit and wait
You stay at home
You hesitate you
End up alone but

Once in a long while
If something comes your way
You can wash it down the drain
Or make it your own
Don't waste it
Don't throw it away!

If the chemistry is right
If the chemistry is there




If the chemistry is right
If the chemistry is there......

Overall Meaning

Mondo Rock's song "Chemistry" is a poignant exploration of the importance of chemistry between two people in determining the course of their relationship. The opening lines, "She turned me round, She said to me: 'It all depends on The chemistry...'" bring to attention the significant role that chemistry plays between two individuals looking to take their relationship forward. The song emphasizes that the right chemistry can lead to a great relationship but hesitation, procrastination, or a lack of initiative can lead to losing out on something good that comes our way. The lyrics advise that once in a while, we come across something real and meaningful, and it's essential to grab hold of it and not let it slip away.


The lyrics are resonant with a sense of longing and lost opportunities, and they try to motivate the listener to take the leap of faith and give a new relationship a chance. The lyrics' repetition, "if the chemistry is right, if the chemistry is there" etches a picture of someone sitting on the fence, unsure about the validity of the relationship. The initial hesitation and reluctance to take the risk are a part of the natural course of things, yet it's important to recognize and seize the opportunity once the right chemistry clicks.


Overall, the song is an ode to chemistry, and as it embodies a universal feeling of seeking and finding a soulmate, it has stayed relevant with audiences even today.
