**The Math of Love Triangles**
**Performer(s)**: Rebecca Bunch and Math Professors — **First Appearance**: "All Signs Point to Josh...Or is it Josh's Friend?"

**The Math of Love Triangles** is a musical performance by Rebecca Bunch in which she tries to use math to resolve the love triangle between herself, Josh and Greg. In the song, math professors try to help Rebecca in this endeavor. The song first debuted in the Season Two episode "All Signs Point to Josh...Or is it Josh's Friend?". It is track number 8 on the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend: Original Television Soundtrack (Season 2).

## Song and lyrics

**Rebecca**:
What's a girl to do
when she's stuck between men?
It's like she's a Barbie
with two perfect Ken's!

But wait!
It just occured to me!
Maybe I can solve this
with Geometry!

Yes smarts can help this
situation untangle!
So professors...
teach me the math of
Love Triangles!

Yay! Time for book facts!

**Professors**:
A triangle is a polygon
with three edges and
three vertices!
Take the base
times the height,
cut that in half,
you'll find the area
of the surfaces!

**Rebecca**:
Uh huh, I wasn't really listening
but I can see...
the center of the triangle
is little ole me!

The math of love triangles
isn't hard to learn.

**Professors**:
You're not taking in
what we're saying!
We're a little but concerned!

**Rebecca**:
Yes the math of love triangles
is as simple as can be!
Whichever Tom or Dick
I might pick
the center of the triangle
is little ole me!

**Professors**:
Actually a triangle
has multiple centers!

This triangle is scalene.

**Rebecca**:
That's astute!
So I need to decide
which man's more acute!

**Professors**:
Here's Pythagoras's theorem!

**Rebecca**:
Will this help me choose?
If not I'll be swinging
from a Hypotenuse!

**Professors**:
Let's take a look at what
this line bisects!

**Rebecca**:
Is that spelled
B-I-S-E-X?

**Professors**:
Those are good puns but
please pay attention!

**Rebecca**:
On no professors!
Am I facing suspension?
Wee! A swing!
It's literal suspension!
The math of love triangles
isn't hard to learn.

**Professors**:
We're starting to suspect
You don't sincerely want
to know about triangles!

**Rebecca**:
Yes, the math of love triangles
is as simple as can be!
I need to choose between men
but until then...
the center of the triangle
is little ole me!

**Rebecca**:
Is this a triangle?

**Professors**:
No, that's a shoe.

Is this a triangle?

**Professors**:
No that's you.

**Rebecca**:
So I'm a triangle?

**Professors**:
What?! No!

**Rebecca**:
1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 3
Go!

**Professor**:
You don't seem to know how to count.

**Professor**:
We're sincerely worried about you.

**Rebecca**:
Catch me!

**Professor**:
You're ruining the number!

**Professor**:
This angles right.

**Rebecca**:
Which angles right?

**Professor**:
No not right like correct.

**Rebecca**:
Ooh, are you erect?

**Professor**:
No, 90 degrees.

**Rebecca**:
That's really erect!

**Rebecca**:
The math of love triangles
is super duper fun!

**Professor**:
We're tired of all your tangents,
That's also a triangle pun!

**Rebecca**:
Oh, thanks for teaching me man math.
You all deserve a kiss!

**Professor**:
Lady we're all gay
we get nothing out of this!

**Rebecca**:
Neither man will notice
my learning disability!
Cause the center of the triangle
is little ole
sexy, little baby
Me-e-e-e-e-e-e!
