I'll Do Anything
Jason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if you're looking for a boy with a voice, well baby I'm single
Are you in the mood for some dude, are you in the mood to be subdued
Or would you rather just mingle?
Let's get set then to go then and let us jet set we'll be like the jetsons
You can be Jane my wife. Should I marry Jane tonight?
I would if I could. I'd do most anything spontaneously
Or we can keep chilling like ice cream filling
We can cool in the gang if you'd rather hang
Ain't no thing. I can be lacubrious with you
I got no ifs ands ors no wits or what's about it
But this place is getting crowded and my house is two blocks away
Or maybe closer
I would if I could
I'd do most anything spontaneously
You know I would, if I could. I'll do anything spontaneously
If you could be nimble, you'd have it simple just like me
So go on and try it, do not deny yourself your freedom
So step on up to the plate get a date with Mraz
See you better act fast because supplies they never
Now did you know this is limited time offer
So go make your mind up before our times up
You better start winding it up because the party's almost over
(and if you should know girl, go a little bit lower now)
See how I would, if I could
I'd do most anything spontaneously
You know I would, and I can prove it
I'll do anything spontaneously
