Be Anything (But Be Mine)
[Verse 1]
Be a beggar, be a thief
Be my sunshine or you can be my grief
Be anything, but darling, be mine
Be a wise one, be a fool
Treat me tender or treat me cruel
Be anything, oh, but darling, be mine
[Bridge]
Climb to the top of the ladder
And be princess of all you survey
If you fail, it still doesn't matter
Because if you love me, everything is okay
[Verse 2]
Be the angel of my prayers
Be the devil who cares
You can be anything, darling, please be mine
Won't you please be mine
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
You can climb to the top of the ladder
And be princess of all you survey
But if you fail, I want you to know it still doesn't matter
Because if you love me, everything is okay
[Outro]
Be the angel of my prayers
Be the devil, but I still don't care
You can be anything, but darling, please be mine
