[Verse 1: Lin-Manuel Miranda]
Soooooo
We're sitting in this twenty-dollar diner and I'm trying to tell the truth
To this pretty Latin youth
Skin is smoother than a silk satin suit
She's so cute
She got me stammerin' and stutterin'
Hearts a flutterin'
Body parts a mutterin', utterin'
Dog you got this
I can't watch you botch this
Don't be obnoxious
Stop thinking with your crotch
This is harder than anticipated
The date is going great
She thinks I'm sophisticated
I guess I underestimated the realness of my feelings
While she's dealing with the menu
The place is kinda strange but it's too late to change the venue
And when you and I say aye and I decide to spill my guts and trust my instincts
It sinks in that she might not
Reciprocate and it's too late to shift my weight back
What's she gonna say?
[Chorus: Arthur Lewis]
Do do do dooo do dooo
Do do doo
Do do do do dooo
Do do do dooo do doooo do do-woo
Do do do dooo do dooo
Do do doo
Do do do do dooo
Do do do dooo do doooo do do-woo
[Verse 2]
Nooooooow
She's telling me a story
But I can't stop staring at her lips
As she sips
From a gla** of Mr. Pibb's
And as I drift she inquires
"Is there something on your mind?"
"Yes"
God, she's blind to this
She's k**ing me with kindness
Roosevelt Island's finest
Sitting with me in this diner as I sweat in silence
Weighing the pluses and the minuses
Clear my sinuses
Clear my throat
A-huh a-huh
Here I go
When she says, and I quote:
"Lin, I consider you a close friend
You take me to these shows
And I feel you're different from most men
They got ulterior motives
You notice the little things
Like the way you can just listen without fidgeting and fiddling
I guess what I'm saying is
I'm really really glad you called me up
To say what's up
You're like the brother I never had"
Huh?
I'm sorry, what was that?
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Yeeeaaaaoooohhhh
Lemme get something off my chest before we get this check
I didn't come to be your best friend or get respect
Maybe you're dumb because I guess you haven't sensed it yet
No I'm dumb in retrospect because I haven't said sh** yet
I gotta be straight
Since my last relationship
I've been sensational at getting laid, it's great
The occupational hazard of that is the more we have s**
The less it matters
Leaving condom wrappers in tatters
The fact is - how do I say this?
You got me shaking like I'm back in seventh grade with braces
Dating Kim Ravens
Maybe it's one of those phases
But face it, you're like
Unfathomably beautiful
Yes madam, you're a cutie full of life
And everything you say is a surprise
I realize that I idealize you like the other guys
If you despise me now in light of this I'm sorry
I ain't proposing marriage
I'd be glad to be a chapter in your story
If you feel nothing for me
We'll keep it hunky dory
Or we'll just say goodnight
Ok, ok, ok, all right, ok...
Whatcha gonna say?
[Chorus]
