"APOLOGIZE"

Uyen Diep, Nguyet-Minh Ngo

Song: "Apologize "

Artist: One Republic and Timberland

I'm Holding onto a halide
got me acting like an electrophile
and a magnesium atom
comes and attacks the halide's side

You tell me that you need me
Then your magnesium got me to make new bonds, but wait..
You tell me that you're sorry
Then you go and add formaldehyde
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
Too Late, oh....

I'll take another group, take a chance,
make more chemistry
and I need to make a certain degree alcohol
but it's nothing new, yeah yeah
I love it when the R group, comes and makes a carbon bond
creating a new C-C bond
often I think of you
but I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-

I'm holding onto a halide
got me acting like an electrophile.....
