The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It's just a theory

There's a possibility I am wrong

It's just a theory

But I would stake my life

Lay my money down

That you were meant for me

And for you I'm the one

It's just a theory

A particular set of assumptions

It's just a theory

An educated guess

A conclusion not forgone

That you were meant for me

And for you I'm the one

Oh nothing's new under the sun

I will postulate

Ask for your consideration

Ask you out on a date

Although it can't be sure

Why not act on a hunch

Oh why not search for proof

Why not go out for lunch

And in theory, I could propose

And in theory you could affirm

Oh that you were meant for me

And for you I'm the one

Oh that you were meant for me

And for you I'm the one

It's just a theory

A series of tests should be run.

It's just a theory although not fully assessed

An idea whose time has come

That you were meant for me

And for you I'm the one

That you were meant for me

And for you I'm the one
