[Verse 1]
I see her online
All the time
I'm trying not to stare down there
While she talks about her tough time
Girl of your dreams
You know what I mean
There's something 'bout her stare that makes you nervous
And you say things that you don't mean

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I found a hotel, I called up the twins
It's seven in the morning, so they won't let me in
I need to get back, I've gotta see the girl on the screen
(And then I spoke to her and she said)

[Chorus]
"Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I'm not playing with you, baby, I think that you should give it a go"
She said, "Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I wanna see and stop thinking, if you're too shy, then let me
Too shy, then let me know"

[Verse 2]
I've been wearing nothing every time I call you
And I'm starting to feel weird about it
Sometimes, it's better if you think about
This time, I think I'm gonna drink through it
Then I see her online, and I don't think that I should be calling
All the time, I just wanted a happy ending
And I pretend that I don't care about her stare
While she's giving me a tough time

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I found a motel, it looked like the bins
I think there'd been a murder, so we couldn't get in
I need to get back, I've gotta see the girl on the screen

[Chorus]
"Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I'm not playing with you, baby, I think that you should give it a go"
She said, "Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I wanna see and stop thinking, if you're too shy, then let me
Too shy, then let me know (You're too shy, then let me)
Well, if you're too shy, then let me know (Too shy, then let me)
If you're too shy, then let me go" (Oh, yeah)

[Bridge]
I see her online
All the time

[Chorus]
Well, she said, "Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I'm not playing with you, baby, I think that you should give it a go"
She said, "Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes
I wanna see and stop thinking, if you're too shy, then let me
Too shy, then let me know"

The 1975

The 1975 consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (lead guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass), all of whom are from Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. The four band members, now based in Manchester, met in Secondary School and began playing together as teenagers.

The eclectic four-piece band have amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B, and 80’s gloss pop, as well as lead singer Matthew “Matty” Healy’s stories of lust, intoxication, and the unabashed grittiness of modern youth. Common themes in their lyrics range anywhere from dysfunctional relationships, to the failure of modernity.

Throughout 2012, The 1975 released multiple EPs, which sparked the start of their careers. The following year, 2013, their self-titled debut album took the world by storm. From 2014 until 2015 the band’s focus was on touring, though they did reveal through photos on social media that their next sound would reflect a departure from their previously black-and-white aesthetic.
