what LaChoy said.
Cake has more songs about relationships than most bands would be able to justify, but they always come with insightful lyrics.
This guy wants a girl who has a pretty complete image of herself and what she wants from life. What she is writing is her own life story, and she wants a man who will achieve those goals with her.
The "you" in the song is a guy who is probably not thinking of those goals - likely he has other ones, possibly his career. But he wants this girl. They are very much attracted to eachother and he thinks the way to conquest is clear, she's an open book to him, he knows her inside and out ... or so he thinks.
And he gets a few surprises in his courting attempt.
