Put on those fancy shades, the pair you bought for two ninety-nine
As cool as you look, there's nothing cooler than you being mine
And put on that song you like, with all the "hey"s and "sha-la-la"s
It not really 'bout anything, but that never seemed to give you pause
Singing do-be-do
Singing oo-we-oo
Singing just for me
For me
For me and me for you
Put on your Pavement shirt, wowee zowee it fits so fine
It never did take much more when you wanted to catch my eye
Put on your worn out jeans with patches and stains of grass
You never got the green out from that crazy day we missed class
Singing do-be-do
Singing oo-we-oo
Singing just for me
For me
For me and me for -
You never needed the lyrics - you just made up your own
I said, "I'm not quite so free" - you told me that it really showed
I asked you, "Well what's your secret?" - You replied, "Go with the flow"
So put on your sneakers, love, and I'll grab the guitar
We're going where the roads don't go, you know a car only goes so far
And put on that hat of yours, so the sun don't hurt your eyes
As I lay you down and whisper all of my made-up lines
Singing do-be-do
Singing oo-we-oo
Singing just for you
For you
For you
