The moon was shining on the lake at night The Slayer t-shirt fit the scene just right Smeared mascara, I looked into your eyes, I saw a light You told me stories about your chickadees They didn't like B-B guns or stupid archery You charmed the lifeguard, to let them use the pool all day for free Then the conversation stopped, and I looked down at my feet I was next to you and you were right there next to me And I said girl! If you're wondering if I want you to, (I want you to) I want you to So make a move, (Make a move) 'cause I ain't got all night The rest of the summer was the best we 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 on what was on TV 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 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 (I 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 So make a move, (Make a move) 'cause I ain't got all night So much pain may come our way There may come a day when we have nothing left to say 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 Then I'll say 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 (I 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 So make a move, (Make a move) 'cause I ain't got all night
