The second song off their freshman album, Volume One, Zooey Deschanel’s band She & HIm keeps with their romantic, sentimental songwriting and clean, Beatles-era composing. On November 17, 2008, the song was released as the band’s first-ever single.
[Verse 1]
Why do you let me stay here
All by myself?
Why don't you come and play here?
I'm just sitting on the shelf
[Chorus 1]
Why don't you sit right down and stay a while?
We like the same things and I like your style
It's not a secret, why do you keep it?
I'm just sitting on the shelf
[Verse 2]
I've gotta get your presence
(aaaaaah)
Let's make it known
(aaaaaah)
I think you're just so pleasant
I would like you for my own
[Chorus 2]
Why don't you sit right down and make me smile? (uh-oh)
You make me feel like I am just a child
Why do you end it?, Just give me credit
I'm just sitting on the shelf
[Outro]
Aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaah
(Aaaaaaaaaah ta-da-tu-rup-tap)
(Aaaaaaaaaah ta-da-tu-rup-tap)
(Aaaaaaaaaah ta-da-tu-rup-tap)
(Aaaaaaaaaah ta-da-tu-rup-tap)
(Aaaaaaaaaah ta-da-tu-rup-tap)
(Aaaaaaaaaah ta-da-tu-rup-tap)
