Story Behind The Song

I thought it would be funny to write a song from the perspective of what someone might try to use as their "best pickup line" if they could do it in song form. After recording and listening to this little diddy, it reminds of the type of song that might have been selected as the theme to a high school prom in the 1980's, thus the era selection.

Song Description

A young man is courting a young woman he "likes", and hopes that by laying it on thick with a dash of honesty, he might get laid.

BPL (Best Pickup Line)
Lyrics and music by T.J. Neveldine © 2005

Nothing?s the matter, do you know what for?
I?m looking at you, something real, nothing more.
There is a truth, it?s hard to tell, if you feel it too
If you do you hide it well, but I?m taking my chance tonight, ?cause?

You?re the one I like
You?re the one for me
I don?t speak of love like it?s tossed around
I?m just saying that you?re the one I like
How do you like me now?

Any requests before I dive, going head first
It?s better now to have tried
Everyone?s looking for what I see, do you see it too?
If you do please see me, ?cause I?m taking my chance tonight, you see?

You?re the one I like
You?re the one for me
I don?t speak of love like it?s tossed around
I?m just saying that you?re the one I like
How do you like me now?

I?ll find a way to make this right, tonight
I?ll let you see only my best side,
As I look deep in your eyes, how can you look so surprised?
I bet you get this all the time?but

You?re the one I like
You?re the one for me
I don?t speak of love like it?s tossed around
I?m just saying that you?re the one I like
So do you like me?

You?re the one I like
You?re the one for me
I don?t speak of love like it?s tossed around
I want you to know you the one I want
So do you want me now?
Do you want me now??cause I like you.
