IF YOU WANT IT Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, wait up for me, I got something I need to do
I'll be rushing back big time for a good time, I'll be running through
There's too much that I seem to worry 'bout, it's too much for you
You're leaving too soon, come back and just give me a call
I can't wait at all, let me open up

[Chorus]
Girl, if you want it
There's no good reason not to love if you want it
I said, girl, if you want it
Let's just believe that we belong if you want it
Girl, if you want it
There's no good reason not to love if you want it
Girl, if you want it
Let's just believe that we belong if you want it

[Verse 2]
Baby, I'm so sorry, I got something I need to prove
I'll be fucking up good times every single time we discuss it through
There's too much that I seem to worry 'bout, it's too much for you
I'm acting a fool, come back and just give me a call
I can't wait at all, let me be your boy

[Chorus]
If you want it
There's no good reason not to love if you want it
I said, girl, if you want it
Let's just believe that we belong if you want it
Girl, if you want it
There's no good reason not to love if you want it, ah
Girl, if you want it
Let's just believe that we belong if you want it
Girl, if you want it
There's no good reason not to love if you want it
I said, girl, if you want it
Let's just believe that we belong if you want it, 'long if you want it

[Outro]
Do what you like now, baby
All of the time
Well, what you want now, girl?
See you tonight, yeah
Do what you like now, baby
All of the time
Well, what you want now, girl?
See you tonight, yeah
(Do what you like now, baby)

About

In “IF YOU WANT IT,” Rex Orange County explores the common theme of WHO CARES?–self-acceptance–in light of a new beginning with a romantic partner.

Whether this is a completely new relationship or a reprisal of an old one is ambiguous within the lyrics; however, it remains apparent that Rex is imploring his “girl” to take a chance on him and his personal fallacies.

Deeper synth notes running throughout the song give this track a more somber feeling in comparison to the rest of the songs on the album, possibly implying a heightened level of emotional strife in regard to the situation described in this song.
