The handsome and self-absorbed young man
 looked at the lovely and self-absorbed girl
 and thrilled.

 The lovely and self-absorbed girl
 looked back at the handsome and self-absorbed young man
 and thrilled.

 And in that thrill he felt:
 Her self-absorption is even as strong as mine.
 I must see if I can't break through it
 And absorb her in me.

 And in that thrill she felt:
 His self-absorption is even stronger than mine!
 What fun, stronger than mine!
 I must see if I can't absorb this Samson of self-absorption.

 So they simply adored one another
 and in the end
 they were both nervous wrecks, because
 in self-absorption and self-interest they were equally matched.
