In a look back at this album following its reissue in 2020, Pitchfork suggests that this song is an allusion to how singer/songwriter Anna Waronker met then boyfriend/now husband Steve McDonald.
[Verse 1]
I was at the Jabberjaw
The cutest boy I ever saw
He was standing behind me
He was such a dream
He kept looking right my way
I wanna see him every day
Randy told me where he lives
In Minneapolis
Hung around 'til closing time
Wanna make him mine all mine
Told my friends I want to leave
But they embarrassed me
Took my keys out for my car
Walked down the street, not very far
He came running after me
He saw me at the Entry
[Chorus]
Minneapolis
Minneapolis
Minneapolis
Minneap-olis
Minneap-olis
Minneap-olis
Minneap-
[Verse 2]
He said, "I heard you ask about me"
And I responded "Yes," quietly
He said, "I'm leaving on Wednesday
Come see me when Low plays"
So I went to see him again
He should be my new best friend
Running so romantically
Down the street for me
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
So he said he'd write or call
'Cause I'd be touring in the fall
He said he wanted me to move
But that just won't do
[Chorus]
To Minneapolis
Minneapolis
Minneapolis
Minneapolis
Minneapolis
Minneapolis
Minneap-olis
Minneap-olis
Minneap-olis
Minneap-olis
[Interlude]
