Hi, hello, Miss Sweeney?
Could you please come in my office for a second?
I'm headin' home for the day
And I thought it'd be good for you and me to check in
I met with the gal from Expo
And they do have the "slab" cabinets in white
She thinks we can take measurements down at the site
If we do that we'll be just fine, Miss Sweeney
That's all I got to say to you at this time, Miss Sweeney
Actually, there's one other thing on my mind
Girl, you make the rainclouds disappear
The sun always shines when you're near
I'm waiting until you love me
Sweeney
I'm so sorry, Miss Sweeney
I don't know where that came from
I think I was overcome by a spontaneous emotion
Anyway, the cash deposit of five thousand dollars
Will need to be sent to the property owner tomorrow
If there are any problems with the deposit or contract
Don't be afraid to holler
I don't wanna have to approve each stinkin' dollar that we borrow
Aw, forget it, Miss Sweeney
Girl, you make the rainclouds disappear
The sun always shines when you're near
I'm waiting until you love me
Miss Sweeney, I got to admit the truth
I am totally head-over-heels in love with you
Every day you come to the office lookin' fine
Navy business the suit clingin' tightly to your spine
You ask me if I'm ready to get down to work
Sweeney, baby, I'm ready
Be my girl
You make the rainclouds disappear
The sun always shines when you're near
I'm waiting
Until you love me
Girl!
You light the skies of my life
I swear, I will make you my wife
I'm waiting until you love me
Miss Sweeney

Overview
"Miss Sweeney," initially demoed by Rivers Cuomo under the title "Until You Love Me," was later recorded in 2007 for Deliverance at Hand!, a CD-R compilation of demos in consideration for Weezer's planned sixth album that Cuomo assembled for the other members of Weezer. Cuomo co-wrote the song with his assistant, Sarah C. Kim. In the liner notes for the deluxe edition of "The Red Album," Brian Bell stated that "Miss Sweeney" was a song that he championed, and that it was almost not recorded at all. Weezer performed "Miss Sweeney" during their sessions for AOL in 2008. The song was performed acoustically, with Bell and Patrick Wilson playing guitar, Scott Shriner playing an acoustic bass, Cuomo singing from behind a desk, and a dancer performing as "Miss Sweeney."
"Miss Sweeney" has, to date, been performed live only three times, all on the second Weezer Cruise.

Testing me, calling me
I can hear your voice
Even when I turn away
I don't have a choice
I only want to spend my time with you
Nothing else...you do
I need you
Girl, you make the clouds all disappear
The sun always shines when you are near
I'm waiting until you love me
Girl, you light up the skies of my life
I'm gonna make you my wife
I'm waiting until you love me
You love me
Until you love me
Terrible nightmares
Filling up my dreams
Sobs and midnight tragedies
When you're not with me
I only want to see your pretty face
And touch you on the cheek, is that okay?
I want you
Girl, you make all the rainclouds disappear
The sun always shines when you are near
I'm waiting until you love me
Girl, you light up the skies of my life
I swear I'm gonna make you my wife
I'm waiting until you love me
Until you love me
Until you love me
I'm certain that this is our destiny
I'll wait for you until you're hear with me
Girl, you make the rainclouds disappear
The sun always shines when you are near
I'm waiting until you love me
Girl, you light up the skies of my life
I swear I'm gonna make you my wife
Waiting until you love me
Until you love me
Until you love me
Until you love me, girl
