Title: Be Mine Tonight
Lyrics Be Mine TonightI never needed to hear the truth;
you never wanted to know.
I never wanted to be unkind,
but then someone kept telling me go,
There was something kept telling me go.
We stayed together like birds in a cage,
but then one of us had to get free.
But who had the heart to say goodbye
wasn't you, so it had to be me,
Wasn't you so it had to be me.
You told me to go
when I wanted to stay,
Making me over in every way,
Telling me just what to do with my life,
But oh, how I wish you could be mine;
Oh how I wish you would be mine tonight.
Be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
We never knew it for what it was worth,
it was worth more than we understood.
We never got past the lies and the hurt,
and it hurt even when it was good.
Yes, it hurt even when it was good.
You told me to go
when I wanted to stay,
Making me over in every way,
Telling me just what to do with my life,
But oh, how I wish you could be mine;
Oh how I wish you could be mine tonight.
Be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
Tonight.
I never needed to hear the truth;
you never wanted to know.
I never wanted to be unkind,
but then someone kept telling me go,
There was something kept telling me go.
We stayed together like birds in a cage,
but then one of us had to get free.
But who had the heart to say goodbye
wasn't you, so it had to be me,
Wasn't you so it had to be me.
You told me to go
when I wanted to stay,
Making me over in every way,
Telling me just what to do with my life,
But oh, how I wish you could be mine;
Oh how I wish you would be mine tonight.
Be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
We never knew it for what it was worth,
it was worth more than we understood.
We never got past the lies and the hurt,
and it hurt even when it was good.
Yes, it hurt even when it was good.
You told me to go
when I wanted to stay,
Making me over in every way,
Telling me just what to do with my life,
But oh, how I wish you could be mine;
Oh how I wish you could be mine tonight.
Be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
Tonight, be mine tonight.
Tonight. |
