Toothpaste and Orange Juice

You brushed your teeth, like you always do
Then someone put fresh orange juice down in front of you
You didn’t think, you just drained the glass
And now you’re waiting for that awful taste to pass

It’s toothpaste and orange juice, apart they’re both fine
But put them together – they leave a bad taste every time

I liked your looks, you liked mine too,
In time this wasn’t quite enough to pull us through
The more we learned we found, the less we shared
Now it’s hard to see how we had ever cared

Like toothpaste and orange juice, apart we’re both fine
But put us together – we leave a bad taste every time

Nobody’s right, nobody’s wrong,
We’ll save the blame for some other song
Like dropping the mints in the diet pop,
We’re making a mess, and it’s time that we stopped

It isn’t you, it’s not just me,
There’s just some combinations that were never meant to be

Like toothpaste and orange juice, the chemistry’s wrong
Don’t put them together, they just don’t belong
Like toothpaste and orange juice, apart we’re both fine
I guess you’ll go your way, and I’ll go mine

Like toothpaste and orange juice, or humor in songs
Sometimes the right things just add up wrong
Like toothpaste and orange juice, apart we’re both fine
I guess you’ll go your way, and I’ll go mine (x3)
