==Overview==
At the time of writing "Lover in the Snow", Cuomo was interested in pursuing a potential side-project, tentatively dubbed "Lovely."Riverpedia archive - 12/18/2020 Described by Cuomo as a "reaction to the reaction to Pinkerton", the music of Lovely would utilize more minimalist song structures and chord progressions, in contrast to the use of numerous chords and key changes of Pinkerton.
"Lover in the Snow" was recorded by Cuomo at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the winter of 1997/1998.Weezer Recording History - Page 10 It was first leaked by Cuomo on the Rivers Correspondence Board in 2002. The song was hosted on his website, riverscuomo.com, for a period of time after this.

I wanna know
What were you doing with my friend?
Out in the eve
Deep in the shady glen I saw you
Lying with him
Down in the snow
Letting him do
All of the things that he wants to
What does he do
What does he do to you that's so nice?
And how does it feel
When he takes your hand and kisses it twice?
Lying with you
Down in the snow
Letting him do
All of the things that he wants to
(Come on, come on, come on I feel it)
So, you laugh and play around
(Come on, come on, come on I see it)
You fall and hit the ground
(Come on, come on, come on I feel it)
You think I'll never know
(Come on, come on, come on I see it)
Your lover in the snow
Letting him fill you up with his wine
Letting him flatter you with his line
Letting him put you down on the snow
Taking him in and letting me go
It hurts for me to see you so
And I can't take you back no more
Lover in the snow
Come on, come on, come on I feel it
I wanna know
What were you doing with my friend?
Out in the eve
Deep in the shady glen I saw you
(Come on, come on, come on I feel it)
You laugh and play around
(Come on, come on, come on I see it)
You fall and hit the ground
(Come on, come on, come on I feel it)
You think I'll never know
(Come on, come on, come on I see it)
Your lover in the snow
Letting him fill you up with his wine
Letting him flatter you with his line
Letting him put you down on the snow
Taking him in and letting me go
(Come on, come on, come on)
It hurts for me to see you so
(Come on, come on, come on)
And I can't take you back no more
(Come on, come on, come on)
Lover in the snow
(Come on, come on, come on I feel it)
You laugh and play around
(Come on, come on, come on I see it)
You fall and hit the ground
(Come on, come on, come on I feel it)
You think I'll never know
(Come on, come on, come on I feel it)
Your lover in the snow
