I Can't Go for That/You Make My Dreams

I Can't Go for That/You Make My Dreams by Hall & Oates is a mash-up featured in Mash Off, the sixth episode of Season Three. It is sung by the New Directions, with solos from Finn, Quinn, Rory, and Tina.

They sing it in a face-off against The Troubletones. The New Directions are first to perform due to a rock paper scissors. They wear similar clothing and costumes that the Hall & Oates would wear. During the performance, Puck can be seen giving Shelby sexual stares while Shelby notices Quinn and how some of the lyrics Quinn sings can be directed to her.

Lyrics

Finn:
What I want you've got
It might be hard to handle
Like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame (with New Directions: Eh Eh)
What I've got's full stock
Of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how I can't explain
Oh yeah!

Finn with New Directions harmonizing (Quinn with New Directions):
Well well you... (I can't go for that)
You make my dreams come true (I can't go for that, I can't go for that)
Well well well you (I can't go for that)
Oh yeah, you make (with New Directions: my dreams come) true

New Directions:
I can't go for that (Rory: Yeah, yeah)
I can't go for that

Rory and Tina:
On a night when
Bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer

Finn and Tina:
I can laugh it in your face

Rory with New Directions:
Twist and shout my way out

Rory and Tina:
And wrap yourself around me
'Cause I ain't the way you found me

Finn and Tina:
And I'll never be the same
Oh yeah
Well 'cause you

Finn with New Directions harmonizing (Quinn with New Directions):
(I can't go for that)
You make (with New Directions: my dreams come) true
(I can't go for that, I can't go for that)
Well well well you (I can't go for that)
Oh yeah, you make (with New Directions: my dreams) come true

New Directions:
I can't go for that
I can't go for that

Finn:
Oh Listen to this, ow!

Quinn:
Yeah!

Finn:
Ooooh ooh ooh oh

Quinn with New Directions Girls:
Chke-ch-bwa!

Finn and Quinn:
I'm down on my daydream
But that sleepwalk should be over by now
I know!
Yeah you!

Quinn with New Directions Girls (New Directions Boys):
I'll (I'll do anything)
That you want me to
(I-I-I'll) Do almost anything

Finn:
You make my dreams come true
(New Directions Boys: True)

Quinn with New Directions Girls (New Directions Boys):
I'll (I'll do anything) (Finn: Oh Yeah!)
That you want me to
(I-I-I'll) Do almost anything

Finn:
You make my dreams come true, oh

Quinn:
I can't go for that

Finn with New Directions:
You make my dreams come true

Quinn (Finn):
I can't go for that (woaw)
I can't go for that

Finn:
I've been waiting for, waiting for,
(Quinn: I can't go for that)
Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for,
Waiting for, waiting for

New Directions:
You make my dreams come true

Quinn (Finn):
I can't go for that (O-oh-oh-wao)
I can't go for that

Finn:
You make my dreams come true

Errors

During the performance, Finn can be seen singing "Oh yeah", but he's not suppose to. Rory and Quinn are seen not singing on their parts, Rory's part is "Yeah yeah" before the second stanza and Quinn's is the "I'm down on day dream..." with Finn on the bridge.
