(If You’re Wondering If I Want You to) I Want You To Lyrics

[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Weezer say about "(If You're Wondering If I Want You to) I Want You To"?
Genius Answer

Frontman and writer Rivers Cuomo has stated about the song:

Kind of a true story inspired by a situation with the woman who ended up becoming my wife eventually. I don’t want to go into too many details ‘cause it’s kinda personal. But, yeah, it’s just about that awkward moment when you like somebody but you’re not sure they like you back and you’re not sure if you should make the move and kind of hoping that they would make the move.
