The [[Catalog of Riffs]] lists a version written in 1991 (labeled as a "prototype") and then a second version dated [[January 3]], [[1992]]. Both versions of the song were considered a part of [[The 50 Song Project]] collaboration between Cuomo and [[Pat Wilson]]. The 1991 prototype was released online in [[November]] of [[2020]] as a part of [[Alone IV: Before Weezer]]. Before this, only handwritten lyrics uploaded by Cuomo himself were available. According to the [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Recording_History_-_Page_3 Recording History], the song was rehearsed by [[Weezer]] in February of 1992 and played live, acoustically, at the 8121 Club on [[April 7]] of the same year. | ||

<poem> | <poem>It takes two | ||
Two to tango | |||
It takes two | |||
To lay down that foxtrot | |||
Don't take three | |||
Don't take four | |||
Don't take five or six or more | |||
To set the world on fire | |||
It takes two | |||
To pack yourself a sandwich for lunch | |||
To pack yourself some baggies for walking | |||
Don't take three | |||
Don't take four | |||
Don't take even a single one more</poem> | |||
=== Prototype: === | |||
<poem>It takes two | |||
Two to tango | |||
It takes two | |||
To lay down that foxtrot | |||
It takes two | |||
It takes three or four or more | |||
To set the world on fire | |||
To pack yourself a sandwich for lunch | |||
To pack yourself some baggies for walking | |||
It takes three | |||
It takes four | |||
It takes quite a few many more | |||
So listen right here now | |||
This part's supposed to be half-time | |||
In the future if this song's ever played this part should be half-time ??? | |||
Like that, okay? | |||
Where we foxtrot | |||
It's a really special place | |||
I call my home | |||
Then you'll see | |||
??? | |||
I'll show you why | |||
I call so sly | |||
And it go | |||
You're not old | |||
Something ??? | |||
So secure | |||
If you're not sure</poem> | |||
