Rivers Cuomo
(If You’re Wondering If I Want You to) I Want You To
[Verse 1]
The moon was shining on the lake at night
The Slayer T-shirt fit the scene just right
Through smeared mascara
I looked into your eyes and saw a light
You told me stories about your chickadees
They didn’t like BB guns or stupid archery
You charmed the lifeguard
He let them use the pool all day for free

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the conversation stopped, and I looked down at my feet
I was next to you and you were right there next to me

[Chorus]
Then I said girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to
(I want you to) I want you to (I want you to)
So make the move (make the move)
Cause I ain’t got all night

[Verse 2]
The rest of the summer was the best we’ve ever had
We watched Titanic and it didn’t make us sad
I took you to Best Buy
You took me home to meet your mom and dad
Your mom cooked meatloaf, even though I don’t eat meat
I dug you so much, I took some for the team
Your dad was silent
His eyes were fixed to what was on TV
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the conversation stopped, and I looked down at the ring
Your folks were next to you, and you were right there next to me

[Chorus]
And I said girl, if you're wondering if I want you to
(I want you to) I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it's true (swear it's true)
Without you, my heart is blue
Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to
(I want you to) I want you to (I want you to)
So make the move (make the move)
Cause I ain’t got all night

[Bridge]
So much pain may come our way
There may come a day when we have nothing left to say

[Pre-Chorus]
When the conversation stops and we’re facing our defeat
I’ll be next to you and you’ll be right there next to me

[Chorus]
And I said girl, if you're wondering if I want you to
(I want you to) I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it's true (swear it's true)
Without you, my heart is blue
Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to
(I want you to) I want you to (I want you to)
So make the move (make the move)
Cause I ain’t got all night
