(be my lady) why won’t you be my girl? why don’t you just give me one chance so we can go ahead and get this tension out of the room? and youuuuuu complimented my sweater and told me about “getting better all the time” (it’s getting better all the time) oo girl you got me going and i don’t know if i can wipe your face out my mind oo girl with a flick of the wrist and a little kiss you could be mine why won’t you (be my baby) why won’t you be my girl? why. won’t you.

and you said "why'd you never ask me out" here you are again regretting my place in the friend zone so i said "why was i the afterthought?" your repeated change in procedural love was all i got (ooo’s) i said baby a word please "your silence was all i heard, you see" i’m sick of the “will we, won’t we?” we’re still saying “if only” *swing* why'd you never call me back? (call me back) we're swinging back and forth always on this pendulum *swing* why'd you never call me back? (call me back) we're swinging back and forth get me off this pendulum it always happens when the midnight day ends you text me once for a conversation like “hey, miss you, you wanna talk about my issues?” “I wasn't put in an easy situation because I was your friend and always saw your relationships end i saw how you hated your exes, and all the people you texted" (THIS STUFF IS ALL CLAIRE) ohhhh baby a word please "your silence was all i heard, you see" i’m sick of wasting time thinking of how you could’ve been mine *swing* why'd you never call me back? (call me back) we're swinging back and forth always on this pendulum *swing* why'd you never call me back? (call me back) we're swinging back and forth get me off this pendulum

if I'm ever gonna be with someone I guess it's true! I've been through the hurt of three at once I've got a box of pizza, a movie, and four bowls of weed do you think your name could be “someone?” and in all the time that I've been looking around I've never seen a face quite like yours anywhere in town but of all the pretty fishes in this pink dye sea you're the one that's supposed to be with me if I ended up dating someone I'd only be a prop waiting (waiting now) nothing quite like knowing what you want I guess I'm done guessing but you're still stressing I wish you’d quit messing around consistent for persistence' sake I'm no mister I have to wait have to wait but I'm sure when it's through I'll get a text from you to say "i want you, I've been thinking about you and me" and if your boyfriend thinks he'll stay then "yippee yoo hoo!!!!" I guess you'll spend all day!!! looking your through your heart to find and realize what's gone so quit holding on it's stupid to wait around when we could be consistent for persistence' sake I'm no mister I have to wait have to wait but I'm sure when it's through I'll get a text from you to say "i want you, I've been thinking about you and me" you're the one that's supposed to be with the one you're supposed to be with and the one you're supposed to be with is the idiot writes these songs so baby come on and quit holding on and we could be consistent for persistence' sake I'm no mister I have to wait have to wait but I'm sure when it's through I'll get a text from you to say "i want you, I've been thinking about you and me" but of all the pretty fishes in this pink dye sea you're the one that's supposed to be with me

i close my eyes and gently drift to sleep i dream of ways to keep you here with me and give you everything you need even subconsciously i'm inspired by you, you set my heart aflame you're laying right there right beside me carefully identifying trees covered in leaves so who's to thank for all these moments that we get to spend alone for free it may be contrived a notion to say you were the one that's chosen for me no, it is not rocket science to say you were supposed to find me i guess we'll wait and see
