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

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.
