Come On To Me
Paul McCartney Lyrics

I saw you flash a smile, that seemed to me to say
The singer noticed a smile from the listener that appeared to be more than just friendly

You wanted so much more than casual conversation
The smile suggested that the listener was interested in something deeper than small talk

I swear I caught a look before you turned away
The singer detected a glance from the listener before they looked away

Now I don't see the point resisting your temptation
The singer is giving in to the temptation presented by the listener's interest

Did you come on to me, will I come on to you?
The singer is questioning the intentions of the listener and considering reciprocating

Do, do, do, do-do, do
Musical interlude

I don't think I can wait like I'm supposed to do
The singer is expressing impatience to explore a deeper connection with the listener

How soon can we arrange a formal introduction?
The singer is eager to take the next step in this potential relationship

We need to find a place where we can be alone
The singer is looking for privacy to spend time with the listener

To spend some special time without an interruption
The singer wants to have quality time without any distractions

Before you grab your coat, I'll try to be discrete
The singer is trying to keep the situation discreet to avoid any unwanted attention

You know we can't be seen exchanging information
The singer is aware that they must be cautious to avoid being detected in their interactions

If you come on to me, then I'll come on to you
The singer is confirming their willingness to reciprocate if the listener is making a move on them

Yes I will, yes I will, yes I will now
The singer is affirming their commitment to pursuing a romantic relationship with the listener

If you, if come on to me (yeah), then I'll come on to you
Reiterating the singer's decision to respond to the listener's advances

Yeah, yeah, yeah (if you come on to me, then I'll come on to you)
Continuing to restate the idea that the singer will respond if the listener makes a move

If you come on to me, then I'll come on to you
Final repetition of the central idea of the song - that the singer is open to pursuing a relationship with the listener

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Musical interlude

I'll come on to you whoo!
The singer is expressing their enthusiasm for the prospect of entering into a romantic relationship with the listener.
