==Overview==
'''Mrs Young''' is a collaboration between Weezer frontman [[Rivers Cuomo]] and previous member [[Matt Sharp]], with the latter being the primary songwriter. [[Please Let That Be You]], the fifth track from [[The Rentals|The Rentals']] debut album [[Return of the Rentals]] is a reworked version of this demo.
Mrs. Young is listed as "[[Jamie]] II" on the [[Recording History]], and like Jamie, is an ode to [[Jamie Young]], the band's lawyer at the time of their signing to [[Geffen Records]]. Sharp wrote the song, then later asked Cuomo for help with "some parts and harmonies" as the Recording History states.
 
==Live Performance==
At Cuomo and Sharp's reunion performance show at Cal State Fullerton, this song was performed live. This performance can be viewed on youtube. During this time, the two were working together on a collaborative project, which was never released.

==Lyrics==
<lyrics>Jaime since, since you called yesterday.
I have felt so swell.
Come back, come back from Mexico.
I need your strength, I need your help.
Hey Denney, won't you put me through?
I miss you both, can't you tell?
 
Please let that be you.
Knockin on my door so loud, just like you do.
Bringin a letter or two,
Jamie you are my fave, and I love you.
 
Hey Mitch, what you guys been up to?
How's prince, is he okay?
Mrs. Young, I think you're the best
That's all, I'm trying to say.
 
Please let that be you.
Ringin' my phone right now, like i wish you would do.
Callin' with some good news.
Jamie you are my fave and I love you.
 
You are my fave, and I love you.
Stand by my side, always be true.
You are my fave, and I love you.
I raise my right hand, and swear it's true.
You are my fave.
 
Please let that be you.
Singin my song so nice sounding like you do.
Hummin along to your tune.
Jamie you are my fave and I love you.</lyrics>
