If We Can Land a Man on the Moon, Surely I Can Win Your Heart Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll fight if you want me to fight
I'll laugh if you want me to laugh
And cancel out the sun
I will, I will, you know I surely will
'Cause all you need is a pretty song

[Chorus]
And if you want to sing, tell me what you want to sing
And I'll play, yeah, I'll play
Speed it up or slow it down, if you want we'll change our sound
We'll play, yeah, we'll play
Anything that you want
All we want from you is a word or two

[Verse 2]
And even though we don't show
We cast our nets like missionaries
If we sell out, oh well
Our only fan will be changing costumes
And you'll see it's much the same
So sing our songs
And for applause, we'll get up, get up

[Chorus]
If you want to sing, tell me what you want to sing
And I'll play, yeah, I'll play
Speed it up or slow it down, if you want we'll change our sound
We'll play, yeah, we'll play
Anything that you want
All we want from you is a word or two

[Bridge]
I've been worth a ton
And I've been worth, I don't need you now
The words you write make my heart race and start
Then just quit

Yeah, we'll do anything as you want (yeah, yeah yeah, ooh)
So please don't go and break our hearts (yeah yeah, ooh)
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, ah-ah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, ah-ah

I'll fight, if you want me to fight

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

In the 1970s, the phrase “If we can land a man on the Moon, why can’t we ” was a common way of arguing that a seemingly impossible problem was solvable, if only we tried hard enough.

Here, the impossible task is getting people to listen to the band’s music. It would be the defining problem of Beulah’s career: critical praise, abysmal sales.
