Overview

The song was attempted again at S.I.R. Studios on December 26, and subsequently attempted at Cello Studios before being abandoned.

In October of 2000, Karl Koch uploaded a short video to weezer.com showing the band practicing the song. In 2002, a recording of the song leaked online.[1]

Lyrics

Teacher, do it again
It’s a long and lonely road we have to end
Oh, sweetness, I like your style
But we have to walk along the country mile

And all the times we’d break up
The world would come to an end
I see the simple freedom in your eyes
But I won’t be there when you’re cryin’ and lonely tonight

Sweetness, take off your clothes
And let me see the things in you that no one knows
I want to do it again
‘Cause I lost the only girl that was my friend

And all the times we’d break up
The world would come to an end
I see the simple freedom in your eyes
But I won’t be there when you’re cryin’ and lonely tonight
