Your favorite food
What you like to do
Your favorite color
Or any other

Thing on your mind
That you'd like to share
'Cause I could stay here
And listen to your every word

Because I'm interested
Can I be an instrument
In changing your life
Is that alright?

Because I'm interested
I'd rather be with you instead
Of anyone else

Because I'm interested in your middle name
Now don't be ashamed
It's between me and you

Everything that we do
So let your guard down because
There's a new girl in town
Gonna turn it around
I hope that you are down

Because I'm interested
Can I be an instrument
In changing your life
Is that alright?

Because I'm interested
I'd rather be with you instead
Of anyone else

I'm wide open, no more secrets
No more lies
Don't wanna look like a fool
But I will
For you

So I'll beg
I'll scream (I'll beg, I'll scream, I'll call, write)
I'll call
I'll write
If that's what it takes for you to be in my life

Because I'm interested
Can I be an instrument
In changing your life
Is that alright?

Because I'm interested
I'd rather be with you instead
Of anyone else

Because I'm interested
Can I be an instrument
In changing your life
Is that alright?

Because I'm interested
I'd rather be with you instead
Of anyone else
