Lyrics by Danielle Knibbe, Music by Besse/Knibbe/Walsh
lyrics
I could be the one for you if you only ask me to
I could be the one for you if you’d ask me
Oh your teenage dream of a Springsteen heart on fire
Is harder than it seems, you can’t fight the cooling of desire
Lover to friend, everything ends, everything bends until it breaks
What about me, what about we sit down and see if we can negotiate?
Oh ’cause I could be the one for you if you’d only ask me to
I could be the one for you if you’d ask me
Oh your wide-eyed gaze never stays for too long
It flits from face to face, it’s all right till it’s all wrong
I’m calling your bluff, it’s never enough, it’s never been love no matter what you say
What about me, what about we sit down and see if we can negotiate?
Oh ’cause I could be the one for you if you’d only ask me to
I could be the one for you if you’d ask me
If you’d ask me, if you...
No more late night calls, no more wasting precious time
With another monologue about some new girl that’s on your mind
Line in the sand, cancel your plans, you understand I’m not gonna wait
What about me, what about we sit down and see if we can negotiate?
Oh ’cause I could be the one for you if you’d only ask me to
I could be the one for you if you’d ask me
Oh ’cause I could be the one for you if you’d only ask me to
I could be the one for you if you’d ask me
Would have been the one for you if you’d asked me
