Mesmerizing Lyrics
[Verse]
You said things I wouldn't say straight to my face, boy
You tossed the egg up and I found my hands in place, boy
After backing up as far as you could get
Don't you know nobody parts two rivers met?
Don't you know I'm very happy?
You know me well
I'm even happier
I like it
I like it
[Chorus]
With all of the time in the world to spend it
Wild and unwise, I wanna be mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing to you, you
With all of the time in the world to spend it
Wild and unwise, I wanna be mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing to you
Mesmerizing to you, you
You said things I wouldn't say straight to my face, boy
You tossed the egg up and I found my hands in place, boy
After backing up as far as you could get
Don't you know nobody parts two rivers met?
Don't you know I'm very happy?
You know me well
I'm even happier
I like it
I like it
[Chorus]
With all of the time in the world to spend it
Wild and unwise, I wanna be mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing to you, you
With all of the time in the world to spend it
Wild and unwise, I wanna be mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing to you
Mesmerizing to you, you

Genius Annotation
Liz said about the song in a 2018 Rolling Stone Article,
“Did you know there’s a dog at the end of it? Her name is Piggy. It’s Casey Rice’s dog, and she was the Australian sheepherding dog. She was just hilarious. Not a pretty dog. And she would always grab hold of stuff and just not let it go, and so at the end of the song, Casey is actually lifting her off of the ground while she’s holding onto a chew toy because she doesn’t want to let go and she’s just going [growls]. It’s really cute. It’s the last thing that you can hear. You can hear her dog tags jangling.”
