Lyrics:
I want to be the boy to warm your mother's heart
I'm so scared to take you away
I tried to win her over right from the start
But something always goti nt he way
We've been sitting in your backyard for hours
But she won't even come out and say hi
While my mother baked a little cake for you
And even dreaded when you said goodbye
What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?
What kind of joke should I lay on her now?
I'm inclined to go finish hight school
Just to make her notice that I'm around
Well nothing I come up with seems to work
It feels like everything I say is a lie
And never have I felt like such a jerk
I'm afraid to even open my eyes
Because I really don't want her to judge me
I want her to really know who I am
And the, and only then will she love me
Well at least that was the plan
If ever a boy needed a holiday
If ever a girl needed someone to hold
I just hope I don't act the same way
By the time that I get that old
I never said I was the heir to a fortune
I never claimed to have any looks
But these kind of things must be important
Because somebody ripped out my page
In your telephone book
I want to warm her heart

| I think this song is so sweet...gentlemanly. It is, as wescz said, about trying to impress a lover's mother. It's apparent in a lot of WS songs that Jack is very traditional; it shows in this song. | |

| i think this song shows jack white in an amazing way. he's an old fashioned gentleman who really cares about his girlfriend. nobody really knows that much about him or meg, do they? they're really kind of hidden in shadow. and that's what i like! it's like the press hasn't completely abused them. i mean, no matter what you think jack's smoking, you can't deny that this song shows him not as a wierdo *coughgirlyouhavenofaithinmedicinecough* but as a lonely boy. a lot of his songs are written from a teenage point of view, like in the cold cold night. | |

| o yea this is definitly about trying to impress her this reminds me a lot about some seinfeld episodes where someones trying to impress his girlfriends/fiance's mother its always hilarious no matter wat they did, she never liked him (it was usually george) but this is a non-funny kind of thing to that but if there was no tune, i can imagine george singing this in a funny sort of way (i read the lyrics before i heard the song) now i kno its a great song | |

| " what kind of cartwheels do i have to pull? what kind of jokes should i lay on her now?" just simply and english gentalmen who trys to show a lover's mother that he is worthy whether by ticks or knowledge. because ego and looks will not impress a hardened heart. :( too bad. jack's looks would impress my mom~ :D. el oh el. | |
